And what part of the constitution permits this?That's what I was wondering. Maybe they're gonna "deem" the card check bill passed like they did with health care.
To: BuckeyeTexan
The labor board asserts that the amendments conflict with federal laws and are pre-empted by those laws. When exactly did card check become federal law?

If I was an Arizona state legislator, there would be a secession bill in the hopper on Monday.

Yeah, unions made Detroit (and Gary, and East St. Louis, etc.) look post-apocalyptic. Yeah, that’s it. Let’s go with that.

The Supreme Court will be tied up for years sorting out the mess this administration is making.

Bring it On!
This union BS will not stand.
Even in the Constitution it is mandated that Federal ballots be submitted in privacy!
The Founders knew of the pressures that could be bought by intimidation.

Not a bad idea. They should bring that crime car stuff to union GM parking lots. Bring a new Accord and record away.

Something doesn’t seem right here.
These (state) laws were put into place to preempt Card Check. But Card Check never became (Federal) law. Since Card Check is not (Federal) law, how can these (state) laws contradict it?

These (state) laws were put into place to preempt Card Check. But Card Check never became (Federal) law. Since Card Check is not (Federal) law, how can these (state) laws contradict it? I guess the Feds argument is that it [Card Check] would have pre-empted state law if it had been passed ... And, since the Feds want to pass it, they have deemed it passed ... And, consequently, it [although non-existant] pre-empts existing state law ...
How's that grab ya ???

It’s moot till Congress legislates differently (or tries to).

What is up with the federal govt suing the states on matters? Is there lots of precedent for this or is it something inventing by the Obama White House??? I’ve never heard of it happening before?

Be prepared for wake up to flat tires if you don’t vote union.
Interesting times.
To: BuckeyeTexan
What the states need to do in order to dilute the thuggery of the Unions, Marxists in WH and Congress, Socialists in the WH and Congress, anarchists in the WH and Congress is quite simple.
Even though there was to be an all out attack against existing state laws here in North Carolina before the November elections, we are a “Right to Work State”. The Unions can hold all the collective bargaining efforts they want, but BEING A UNION MEMBER IS NOT A REQUIRMENT FOR EMPLOYMENT and being harassed for not being a union member is grounds for civil suits (to the best of my knowledge).
So all these four (4) states need to do is establish themselves as Right to Work states and dilute the unions.
North Carolina DemocRATS my have wet dreams about unionizing this state but, at present, that is all they are, just dreams, despite the Norma Rae syndrome that exists in the large metropolitan areas. The hinterlands are staunchly anti-union.

I truly believe that secession by force was not the way to go...states should have sued to go. I would support such a suit were it to arise in Florida.
IMO, just as one cannot be held liable for the crimes of their parents, a state cannot be held to abide by an agreement to join a federal union (don’t confuse my argument with any call for a revolution or insurrection because it is not) as individuals in these states have a right to current self determination unbound by agreements of the long ago dead.
