I guess the spirit of the 14th Amendment means nothing now.
No, what it really means is that security and administrative sanctions that would be otherwise applicable to an active Federal employee aren't applicable to someone who isn't. There is no doubt that if she were a regular Federal employee with a Top Secret clearance that her security clearance would be revoked (the security sanction) and she would be fired if the position required such a clearance (the administrative sanction).
