As I said, the employee has recourse, unless their activity can be proven to have damaged the employer in some fashion. For example, if the employee says things on FB that cause the employer's clients or customers to suddenly withdraw their business, then the employer would have legitimate grounds for dismissal.

If we had no hate speech then there be no reason to have law protecting freedom of speech. If people don't want to hear a person that they don't agree with, simply walk away, change the channel, etc.
That really depends on what state you live and how dumb you are as an employer.
Many states are at will employment. That means you just tell them they are not needed anymore. You never give them a reason and you do not owe them one. The only thing effected is the unemployment claim of the employee from just being fired. Just don't be dumb and try to give them a excuse or give them a compassionate reason because everything can be held against you and will. Your employment is no longer required. Thank You. If they push for a reason then you just say we are not allowed to discuss reasons.
I usually waited for a slower month so I could always fall back on workforce reduction. There is not requirement to use seniority. The only time you run into problems is with Affirmative Action qualified workers and that is why you avoid hiring them. Unintended consequences that the Democrats created.
Remember when hiring older employees used to be a great grab of experience? Now it is seen as a handicap and most older employees, have to become consultants or agents when they lose their jobs.

Actually all states are at will employment, but 36 states now recognize implied contract as an exception to at will employment. Implied contract occurs when employers make promises like yearly wage increases at the interview stage, suggests advancement or continued employment based on good performance reviews or has company handbooks that imply a contractual relationship between employees and employer. Needless to say, if an employee signs an employment contract with an employer, then the relationship is completely contractual.
