I support neither Romney nor Gingrich, but this is garbage. Watch the clip. Neither one said they support the Federal Government forcing employees to join unions in this clip. What they said was that they believe that the Federal government (through the radicalization of the NLRB) is trying to take right to work away from the states. They said that right to work is a state's rights issue. Neither was asked about a Federal law banning forced unionization.

That said, as a Constitutional conservataive, I don't see where in the Constitution that the Congress would be given the right to pass such a law. Labor relations within a state are none of the Federal government's business. In his answer in the clip, Newt was exactly right.

IMHO the headline is misleading — which surprises me a little from Big Government — they think it is a states right issue, which it is under our constitution...... what is wrong is what Obama is doing in trying to use the Federal Government to decide for all states.

Thanks, BruceS, for your observation.
