About 900 State Department officials sign dissent memo: source
[Reuters]
ReutersJanuary 31, 2017

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Roughly 900 U.S. State Department officials signed an internal dissent memo critical of President Donald Trump's travel ban for refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries, a source familiar with the document said on Tuesday.

A senior State Department official confirmed that the memorandum in the department's "dissent channel" had been submitted to management.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday he was aware of the memo but warned career diplomats that they should either "get with the program or they can go."

A list that make it easy to determine who should be fired next.  They should remember the ATC workers Reagan fired.

Yup. Sign 900 pink slips and move ahead with fixing the country. Any job I ever worked required me to do my job. I didn't have to like it and I could leave if I didn't. Employment is not a democracy. Employees don't get to vote.

IMO, they're all violating their oath of office.

If that was the hill they wanted to die on.  They choose unwisely.

Oh, I can think of something more entertaining than that for them..... like canvassing door to door in Sudan for Christian refugees.

Think in pairs.. on bikes like those Latter Day Saint people.
