A case that seemed poised to deal a major blow to public unions ended in a 4-4 tie on Tuesday at the Supreme Court, effectively delivering a big victory to the unions.

So all you Trump supporters who won’t vote for Cruz, and all you Cruz supporters who won’t vote for Trump...think very seriously about who Hillary will appoint to the USSC.
I think this will help us in November.
Amen
“So all you Trump supporters who won’t vote for Cruz, and all you Cruz supporters who won’t vote for Trump...think very seriously about who Hillary will appoint to the USSC.”
Yes, you are right, but in a few more weeks, insofar as FR is concerned there will only be one or two diehard Texans here supporting Cruze. At least if you only count the ones who are “voting” on the FR Caucus.
UNaccountable bureaucrats vote for continuation of FORCED socialism.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder
Legal Plunder Has Many Names
Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.

This was not a “big” victory, only a judgment deferred to a later date.
There are literally TONS of questions that have never been satisfactorily resolved by the judgment of the Supreme Court, and even then, no judgment can ever be considered to be “settled law”. New interpretations arise all the time.
Case in point - the Dred Scott decision of March 6, 1857.
That was revisited rather quickly, as a massive civil war broke out related in no small part to that interpretation of the rights (or lack of them) as applied to persons held in slavery.
When I became a Christian, I knew unions gave only to Dems, that supported abortion, sodomy, ditching the Second Amendment, burning flags, forbidding prayer in school, removing the Ten Commandments, removing In God We Trust, and on and on. Why would I give money to an organization so opposed to my beliefs? Why should anyone be forced to deny their beliefs?
Yet another case which the murder of Scalia influences. The unions are the greatest thugs in America.
Truth! Personally, I don’t want to see a Supreme Court that is heavily stacked to the left … which is exactly what will happen under Clinton. THIS is the single most important aspect of this election year.
Amen! (though I trust Trump less to do an effective job with the USSC)
You're wasting your breath. Wish you weren't. But I seriously doubt many Trump supporters are capable of serious thought, and Cruz supporters who won't vote for Trump feel bound by conscience just as many conservatives who didn't vote for McCain or Romney. Perhaps more so, because Trump isn't just "not a true conservative", he's also not personally very admirable in the way he conducts himself.
Absolutely! America cannot last much longer with another leftist POTUS right now.
We need a 180 change, and I think we would get that with either leading candidate.
Wow! I said that withouth any hate or vitriol! Some people at FR could learn from that.
