I doubt it’s actionable. In some states, assistant prosecutors are personal employees of the elected state/district/commonwealth attorney and can be terminated at will for pretty much anything other than race. It’s even conceivable that one could dismiss on race in limited circumstances. Getting involved in public politics certainly is capable of undermining a prosecutor’s position and seems like reasonable grounds for termination.
Mr. Jarvis badly needs a trip out behind the barn. Since when is educating people about the constitution “political”? Even if it were, doesnt’t this raise questions about Mr. Jarvis’s character, honor, and dedication to the law and the nation? Three tests which he has failed miserably.
Fuck him. Hopefully when assholes like this are finally not tolerated anymore there is a lamppost reserved in his name.

Remember, only your political betters can talk about the government while working for the government.
