California on Monday filed its 50th lawsuit against the Trump administration in a case challenging a federal rule that bans states from deducting union dues from the paychecks of hundreds of thousands of workers who provide in-home care to low income, disabled and elderly people. State Attorney General Xavier Becerra argued that the new rule – which puts up barriers for taking employee medical benefits and voluntary union dues out of workers’ paychecks – not only harms the home care workers who have joined a union, but also the people these workers serve. “With this rule, the Trump administration is not only harming Medicaid-skilled home care workers who have joined unions, but the millions of seniors and people with disabilities who depend on these indispensable workers,” Becerra said in a statement.

The Democrats are upset that Trump is challenging their money laundering scheme where tax dollars go to home health workers but then money is siphoned off by the state, handed to SEIU, and then handed to the Democrats.
Why do they have to be in a union in the first place?
Time for the Administration to seek penalties against CA for filing frivolous lawsuits.
“Why do they have to be in a union in the first place?”
This is a great story on the background for California and the SEIU wing of the Democrat party.

We have the finest government money can buy.....and often does.
California is not an American state anymore. California is a foreign enemy state.
Why are they suing Trump? This was a Supreme Court decision. I presume I am missing a fundamental thing here.
The MI todo a few years ago is what was making the national news.
SEIU started in the Bay Area back 30 years ago under the name “Janitors for Justice” and tried to unionize Silicon Valley.
When their shakedown managed to get cooks and janitors unionized after threatening to damage many high tech companies, they went after Gov workers.
The GOP could have worked with Silicon Valley back then to end this extortion but decided to stop working in CA.
Back about 2000, it became One Party Rule in CA.
SEIU worked to make that happen.
There they go again, people are no longer forced to pay union dues when providing home care in CA, they can still join if they want to, but that’s not good enough for these liberals...Most parents who get IHSS probably don’t want to be paying these dues.
Is this what the issue is?

In 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled union dues for home health care workers had to be voluntary, meaning unions could not deduct dues from employees who were not members yet were still covered under the collective bargaining agreement. That same year, former President Barack Obama’s administration issued a ruling clarifying states could deduct dues from paychecks of home health care workers who volunteered to join the union.
The Trump administration reversed that rule, arguing it violated federal law that bans states from diverting Medicaid money to third parties, with some exceptions. But Becerra and union leaders said it is designed to weaken the finances of unions by making it harder for people to pay their dues.
“Why are they suing Trump?”
Because Orange Man Bad
Good use of taxpayer money: waging war against the country’s duly elected government. Is there not one lawyer out there who can see “a pattern of abuse” after 50 lawsuits, and then bring one against these political hacks. And don’t tell me you can’t sue the government!

This is when President Trump should Strike, Formally Demand via a Motion to the Court to have the Case Dismissed and All others with Becerra’s name on them, then file another motion for Sanctions and Demand he be held in Contempt for Perpetrating a Fraud upon the COurt. He is INELIGIBLE per State Law to be Attorney General, appointed or Elected.
Legal arguments center around Section 12503 of California’s Government Code, which states, “No person shall be eligible to the office of Attorney General unless he shall have been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the state for a period of at least five years immediately preceding his election or appointment to such office.”
LOL, “Orange Man Bad” thing just makes me laugh every single time!
I have a strong suspicion he finds it amusing too...something in me makes me think he would likely see it with satisfaction as just another way to get under the skin of his enemies...:)
Some can even type without a cornucopia of misspellings and grammatical mistakes, but since I cant, I do not judge them on this subject too harshly
The 1935 National Labor Relations Act should be ruled unconstitutional and/or repealed so labor unions would lose their immunity to charges of price fixing and/or violations of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
