I actually hope not, too much frigging compromise occurs and then the inevitable beltway bubble crap occurs, on the national stage. It’s bad enough how the compromise is at the state level.

Neverheard of this guy. Any relation to Janet Napolitano over at DHS?

No relationship to Janet. Note that Judge Napolitano lost his Fx News Show for being too honest about the unconstitutionally big federal government. Here's a video of him reading the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I to clarify that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for healthcare purposes.

He stripped some rights of public sector unions---BECAUSE---they do not negotiate with the entity that ponies up the wages, i.e. taxpayers. Instead they negotiate with political types in charge of collected tax monies, and the two sides negotiate a quid pro quo.

Private sector unions negotiate with the actual payers of their wages, so it is a true give and take negotiation, instead of a collusion to rob the taxpayers and scratch each others backs.

Public workers should not be allowed to form unions, period. If I am not mistaken, even FDR agreed with that--anyone?

Sounds like a fine candidate. I wonder if the name would hold him back with voters who don’t look too closely at the candidates; there are a lot of them.

Not all. Police and fire unions were excluded from the restrictions. That's why I'm a bit surprised they didn't try the equal protections gambit. If teachers lose their bargaining rights but police do not then wouldn't that fall under equal protection?

A federal judge has ruled Republican Gov. Scott Walker's controversial law stripping most public workers of nearly all their union rights is constitutional.

That should have read "union privileges".
