This is perhaps the most asinine that has come down the pike in many years. I actually feel better about the GOP's prospects for blocking it, though. Blanche Lincoln recently stated she may not support it. I'd be surprised if the other Democrat senator from Arkansas supported it either - Arkansas is, after all, the home of Wal-Mart, who has a strong vested interest in stopping this. There's also Ben Nelson, a moderate Dem from a right-to-work state. Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, & North Carolina are all right-to-work states and they all have Democrat senators whose constituencies will be opposed to this. There's a chance that Specter could vote in favor (I have my doubts he will), but even if that happens, the Dems would have to hold EVERY member of their caucus. I'm doubtful that will happen.

they’ve wanted control of wal-mart for many years,

and of course, the right to work states.

If this passes, I’m hoping the first few thousand union thugs who start leaning on those who refuse to be union pawns end up with two extra holes in their heads.

An entry and an exit hole.

I will never be part of a labor union and I won’t be intimidated.

So what? The National Labor Relations Act is unConstitutional, but has been legalized tyranny for almost 3/4th of a century.

Virtually everything the Federal government does now is unConstitutional, and it’s going to get worse with Obama. This is a bug on the windshield of UnConstitutional.

“There is simply no legitimate government interest in promoting unionization that justifies a clandestine organizing campaign which denies all speech rights to the unions’ adversaries.”

Yes there is. It’s called the Democrat party. Currently the majority party of the Federal government.
