- holding termination of legal assistant to county welfare board based on political party affiliation was permissible under first amendment to the United States Constitution.
- "The circumstances were so obvious that the court could not fail to have taken judicial notice of those facts."
- no private right of action where Congress provided a “rather complete” administrative scheme to remedy violations of the statute
- when facts have been presented to the court and the court has acted on them, it is not necessary to articulate those same facts in a continuance order
- court need not articulate self-evident facts supporting (h)(8)(A) continuance
