Anyone who still identifies as a Republican, at this late date, is objectively either evil, or dangerously, certifiably stupid.

Weird how conservatives didn't mention all those years that they think it's fine to fire people for their beliefs! What an unfortunate misunderstanding we've had around this. Oh well!
Turning Point USA, the youth movement Kirk founded in 2012, said in a statement that it supported the right to free speech, “including that of private employers to determine when a bright line has been crossed and an employee deserves to be terminated.”

I believe this question has been answered in the Fourth Circuit, and the answer is ‘no, a defective original indictment cannot serve as a basis for tolling of the statute of limitations or the §§ 3288, 3289 savings clauses’

The government argues that a timely indictment will toll limitations even if it is defective and fails to charge a crime. The Court disagrees. The Fourth Circuit has expressly held that a defective indictment confers no jurisdiction whatsoever upon the trial court. United States V. Hooker, 841 F.2d 1225, 1231-32 (4th Cir. 1988) (en banc); United States v. Pupo, 841 F.2d 1235, 1239 (4th Cir. 1988)_(en banc). Accordingly, a defective original indictment *378 is simply a nullity. An invalid indictment which fails even to invoke the Court's jurisdiction clearly cannot serve to block the door of limitations as it swings closed. See United States v. Peloquin, 810 F.2d 911, 913 (9th Cir. 1987) (holding that the mere filing of an indictment does not, by itself, toll the running of the statute of limitations under 18 U.S.C. § 3282).181
