Federal Judge Rules Food Stamp Recipients Can Unionize (satire)

In a surprise ruling, a three judge panel of the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals issued a unanimous opinion supporting the right of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients to unionize in order to assure equitable access to benefits, along with an uninterrupted flow of payments should the federal government be forced to temporarily shut down due to congressional budget stalemates.

"For too long so-called Food Stamp beneficiaries have been denied access to union representation seeking to protect their rights," said Justice Gavin Moore Freestuff. In a sharply worded rebuke to attorneys representing the National Taxpayers Union, which sought to block a ruling by the newly reconstituted National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Justice Freestuff cited recent court precedents establishing the right of home health care workers, nannies, babysitters, and dog walkers to pay compulsory dues which unions could then use to influence elections.

I think its a great idea. Then they can all go on strike, until we agree to give them free food again.

We’ll see how that works out for them.

Nothing from the “Nutty Ninth” Circuit Court of Appeals is “surprising” other than no capture-on-sight warrants issued by insane asylums have never been issued.

You don’t need communists to destroy our country (which they are doing very effectively under Obama) since you the the 9th. But they are all the same, a distinct threat to the preservation of the United States of America.

Maybe only an earthquake can save us. Calling the San Andreas Fault, Mendicino Fault, and all other “Faults”.
You are badly need in California.

Yeah, I know the article is a spoof, but what I said is the truth. That’s the tragedy of America.

The first post at the site...

“That a number of responders are confused about the veracity of the story is indication enough of the state of our country right now. The piece is cleverly written, plausible in the headline and first few words—until the reference to “circus court” and Justice Freestuff. I just hope the story doesn’t harm anyone after circulating through certain circles.

The situation portrayed is a bit like the earlier hoax that
Obama was “taking care” of everyone’s utility bills, which led many not to pay their bills, which in turn led to electric service shut-offs and later charges to reconnect.”
