The simple truth is govt has no business dictating to a going concern what they should pay their employees for whatever task.

I am surprised a test case has not reached the supremes.

But then, depends on how the deck is shuffled, sometimes the cards fall the wrong way.

Agreed. But as you know, the Supreme Court is no longer a check and balance, even if the two swingers (Kennedy and Roberts) occasionally vote to interpret the law as it is written rather than how they would like it to be.

With Scalia gone, there are four solid votes to rubberstamp unlimited government power (unless it is an issue with which liberals disagree) plus two more who will sometimes go along with it.

Confirm a jackwagon like Garland and even that very weak firewall is gone.
