"The unions claim the inclusion of a 'loyalty question' on federal job applications runs counter to the nonpartisan nature of the civil service, because it allows the 'Trump Administration to weed out those who do not voice sufficient support for President Trump and reward those who do.'”

See also. By behaving as if the Hatch Act and civil service laws have been repealed (they haven't) this administration is getting into legal and even sometimes constitutional trouble with courts. /2 bsky.app/profile/walt...

I don't think that's quite right.
They're not behaving as if the laws have been repealed, but as if they weren't valid in the first place.
The difference in the distinction is political vs legal.
But yes, they're getting into legal trouble based on it.
