“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that his side would join a suit brought by Noel Canning, a family-owned business in Washington State that bottles and distributes soft drinks. The company is challenging the NLRB’s determination that it must enter into a collective bargaining agreement with a labor union.”
WHY did the republicans not file a suit instead of waiting for a private company to do the heavy lifting?
The Pubs may have waited so the courts didn’t refuse to hear their case under the political question doctrine. IANAL but that’d be my first guess.
WHY did the republicans not file a suit instead of waiting for a private company to do the heavy lifting?...The court would have decided the Republicans had no standing (crassly put, they had no skin in the game) to bring this lawsuit up.
That was rhetorical, right? The eGOP barely cares more about the Constitution than obastard...
