With Scalias death the court was tied last time it heard this case.

[bagster]

Please make it so. All unions must burn.

[GT Vander]

If the last time it was 4-4 without Gorsuch, I can’t WAIT for them to hear this one.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oooo! I’ve been waiting for this one. Wisconsin has done a LOT of Union Busting since Governor Walker came to town.

When people are given a CHOICE, they opt OUT of Unions, which we saw up close and personal under Wisconsin’s Act 10. It’ll be interesting to see what the Government Drone-types will do outside of our state if this passes SCOTUS.

Full disclosure: I’ve been both a State and Federal worker bee. I was never approached by a Union rep in either job.

[Jim Robinson]

Outlaw government unions!

[beergarden]

My prayers were answered. Death to all unions.

[SamuraiScot]

My father was in a Federal employees' union. He distrusted the traveling, fat-cat union reps and was opposed on philosophical grounds as well: The taxpayers pay Federal unions to pay lavish salaries to union bosses, bargain against us, threaten us, discriminate against white, male employees, and divert our money (our family's wages) to Communists.

In short, he hated the SOBs.

Having to be forced to pay an organization as part of the contract to work for a company, is wrong. It is effectively government forced extortion since the government has the power through the threat of legal action, to enforce the mandatory payment to a Union by a worker.

Right-to-work must prevail.

I can’t wait to hear public employee union leadership squeal when they’re shot down.

[SamuraiScot]

By the way, I've heard that the only thing upholding Federal employee unions is an executive order of JFK's, which can be eliminated by a stroke of another President's pen.

I've further read that unionization is the only thing making non-political employees un-fireable.

Are these things true?

[Freedumb]

If the Supreme Court strikes down these mandatory public union laws, I’m sure the 9th circuit will be more than happy to rule that decision unconstitutional.

[SpaceBar]

When I was a youngster in school, they told us that monopolies were bad, and competition was good, and it all made perfect sense. Fast forward to today, labor unions are simply labor monopolies run by the left, and as such, have all the detrimental effects that implies.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Right To Work! We're getting there!

[karnage]

I will believe it when I see it. All Americans know that public sector unions are no good. It’s the fox guarding the henhouse. Would love to see them crushed.

"Even in years when we THOUGHT we were gaining ground, we were still losing ground to the Socialist Democrat Party and the RINOs."

Another version: "Even in years when we THOUGHT we were gaining ground, we were still losing ground to the Progressives and their cultish ideology in BOTH the Democrat and Republican Parties!

[Beagle8U]

Unions have been on a death watch since Michigan passed RTW. Now only police and firefighter unions can force membership, but I doubt that would stand a court challenge.

Re: Probably Strike a Huge Blow to Public-Sector Unions

“Probably” is the key word.

I am still not convinced that John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch are reliable Conservatives.

I hope to be pleasantly surprised at the verdict.

Democrats NEVER feel political anxiety about their Judges.

[Intolerant in NJ]

The Supreme Court Will Probably Strike a Huge Blow to Public-Sector Unions...or, as it was headlined in the leftwing screed "The Press of Atlantic City" this morning - High Court May Hurt teachers, Public Employee Unions - nothing biased in that headline......

[Gene Eric]

Since the taxpayers are NOT represented in the public union collective bargaining process, public unions should be illegal.

I have no issue with the private sector unions that refrain from thuggery and graft. I nor family belong to any unions.

[Chode]

and make-em collect their own dues no matter what

[MileHi]

... non-members essentially free-ride off the union’s efforts.

Yeah, like funding leftist democRats.
