Keri Borzilleri, a city prosecutor for 10 years who said she had an "exemplary record," filed suit in December in U.S. District Court, saying she was fired for openly supporting Mosby's predecessor, Gregg L. Bernstein.
Mosby's response, filed this week by an assistant attorney general, says prosecutors are "policymakers" and "alter egos" of Mosby and that case law supports an elected official's right to fire such employees who have a different viewpoint.
"… Ms. Mosby had every right to expect that a person in Ms. Borzilleri's position would be loyal without qualification and would publicly support her in full," Assistant Attorney General Bradley J. Neitzel wrote in a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

wow... Mosby should be fired immediately
Unreal.
Maryland is an 'at-will' state so unless there is some discriminatory violation (this one is clearly and admittedly a violation of rights to free speech and association) the courts should uphold.
Here though - this bim is WRONG and should be fired herself for stupidity!
This woman is dangerous to society, let alone those being accused
Bye Felicia.
she is buds with Obama. laws mean nothing
How freaking stupid can she be??? I guess when you hire within affirmative action guidelines this is the result.
An AG / SA should be up holding the law not political views beliefs. Mosbey shows with this comment she does not up hold the laws of MD if they do not agree with her political beliefs. With this admission she should be removed ASAP. Her statement proves she is incompetent.
People like Mosbey are the loudest shouting discrimination and the first to apply it.
Guess the first amendment to the constitution doesn't apply to them.
She received a poor education. That's why we need bussing.
