Funny You Should Mention It

Janus v AFSCME

Eli,

I'm fascinated how much of the opposition to Trump is expressed, since, to me, most of it seems infantile and pointless. Like the kneeling at football games. Or the speeches at the Emmy's. Or Jimmy Kimmel. Or the Russian investigation. Or Hillary's conspiracy theories. On that front, my favorite is:

Hillary Clinton Compares Trump To Putin: "Hopefully" He Hasn't Ordered Killing Of Journalists.

Yes, it's as bad and dumb as the headline sounds.

I don't think Trump is an evil genius deliberately diverting attention from substantive issues so the press and the opposition, but I repeat myself, like a dog chasing a squirrel, hyperventilates over his latest TwitterStorm, but it sure seems like he is.

What isn't the press and the opposition focused on?
There's this:
Supreme Court Will Hear Case on Mandatory Fees to Unions. 
ScotusBlog has a good summary of the case as well.

An adverse ruling could decimate membership in public employee unions, the only growing sector of the union world and a big contributor to the Democratic party.
