That isn't the point at all, Brent. All walks of life live in a straightjacket to some degree. Perfectly legal behavior that would be acceptable for one person can be highly inappropriate for another, and carry severe consequences. That's just a fact of life.

It's about a lack of judgement that people in certain leadership roles should have. Mr. Cooper is free to say anything he wants, including political speech. However, what he chose to say publically called his judgement as president of Cooper into serious question, and the stockholders had a right to protect their investment. Free speech is a protected right, but the fact that the speech was political in this case is not germane. Free speech is free speech. Folks are free to say pretty much anything they want, but no one is protected from the social and economic fallout of ill advised speech.
