Here is your (sketchy, imo) Federal Circuit decision limiting civil servants’ rights to appeal suspension/revocation of a security clearance https://casetext.com/case/kaplan-v-conyers?resultsNav=false … (cert denied, 2013). Congress could fix this, and I believe there’s already a bill, but it hasn’t advanced.

Isn't Navy v. Egan the specific precedent in this case?

Sure but to sensitive employees. To the extent that Trump's targets still have clearance, they'd all be actual clearance, not just sensitive classification, no?

I take your point. It’s the most recent circuit case I’m aware of in the Egan line, but possibly doesn’t add anything necessary to these targets. There’s a 2011 3d Circuit case on claims of retaliation for protected speech that might be more useful.https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-3rd-circuit/1497002.html …

Ohhh. Interesting. Mostly I'm hoping this clear act of arbitrary abuse will make it clear how arbitrary clearances are so we can fix Egan.
