I like that one, too.

Technology can be a serious game-changer; we really need to let the playing board settle before changing the rules.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

This was a good one. Unanimous, with Sotomayor and Alito both drafting separate concurrences.

Take a look at the last week's opinions. Rather interesting the unity in the SCOTUS and the lack of any patterns being shown.

Ryburn v. Huff – per curiam
National Meat Association – Unanimous
Reynolds v US – 7-2 (dissenting were Scalia and Ginsburg (yep – those two dissented))
US v. Jones – unanimous (GPS case)
Perry v. Perez – per curiam (Thomas concurring)
Mims v. Arrow Financial – unanimous
Golan v Holder – 6-2 (Kagan abstained, dissent by Breyer and Alito)
Maples v. Thomas – 7-2 (Scalia and Thomas dissenting)

Another good day for the Constitution thanks to our Supreme Court

The big ruling coming tomorrow as well! How do you think that one's going to settle?

I think the Republicans have done a good job stacking the SC in their favour. I will likely disagree with a few of their rulings going forward.

I do agree that it was good they finally recognized that their previous ruling was faulty. Shows that the Supreme Court certainly doesn't always get it right.

No, the Republicans have been good at putting originalist on the court that understand that the constitution is not a living document and needs to be followed!

I can only imagine how great the court is going to be after 6 more years of trump!

Supreme Court deals sharp defeat to public employee unions, banning mandatory fees

About damned time this was stopped!

More battles to come however and unions and changing rules to make it as hard as possible for members to opt out!!! Bastards!

I would have agreed with this, if they had given non-union members the right to negotiate separately. But my understanding is, that didn't happen.

So, non-union members will get the benefit of union negotiated contracts without having to pay for it. You can see how that likely will result in less and less people paying union dues.

This ruling therefor appears to be squarely focused on finding a way to defund unions. In the long run this will likely lead to worse employment conditions for many low to middle class employees. Likely many of whom are applauding this now.

I would have fully supported this ruling, if it had concluded that people could negotiate separately with their employer.
