So will the co criminals, Herrs Obozo and Holder ignore this like they ignore any law or court ruling that goes against their agenda or contributors?

Very scary that four justices said yes they can.

Man, that cripples up union forced membership. I don’t see how long-term survival is possible now with the unions.

This represents the death knell to public sector unions, something that even Franklin Roosevelt could not stomach. The unholy alliance of unions and Democrat politicians has worked against good government, fiscal responsibility, and the will of the people. A good day.

That is scary. I will be interested in reading the dissent; how anyone justice could think it’s ok to take money out of a Medicaid check for a disabled child and give it to the SEIU.

It depends on how the decision is written. If it just applies narrowly to these home healthcare workers, then it will not be as widespread as you might think.

the O-hole in chief child will ignore this order. And he will lambaste the Court. “Don’t doubt me on this.”

Very good news. Abood was not overturned but this is a defeat to the union progressive plan.

Yeah, but also interesting that lower courts all threw the case out. At least the Supremes listened, even if they were only 5-4.

How does this affect states where the union can force you to join as a condition of employment?

Does this mean that Rush Limbaugh can quit paying dues, or leave the union entirely?
