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.

Free Speech Requires 100% Participation
Eli,
Bill
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin indicated Sunday night that he did not want offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva to stand for the national anthem, instead of sitting it out with the rest of his teammates...Free speech is all well and good, as long as there is 100% participation.
Tomlin said in a post-game press conference that he was looking for “100 percent participation” in whatever course of action the team took during the national anthem.
