Worth watching . It will be interesting to see if they can find a District judge to agree the power of public employees to collectively bargain every aspect of their employment is a fundamental right. It should be big news to the Federal employees who do not have that power.

You got that right.

Here is the rub: in the last 7 months, Obama himself has been screwing Federal workers (who do not have collective bargaining rights as you pointed out). He froze their pay for an effective three years. He froze out locality (high cost area) pay raises for 2010, and just announced the same for 2011. His administration is telegraphing a punch that they want a 5% pay cut from Fed workers as another bargaining chip against the Republicans so Obama can argue for a tax increase - with that 5% paycut supposedly going to the solvent pension fund that Tim Geithner is now raiding because Obama and the Treasury have overspent the Trillions Pelosi and Reid gave him.

This is really incredible stuff.

If we didn't have a news media that were absolute whores for Obama and the Democrats, this would blatant hypocrisy would be an example for the ages.
