Very Happy.Win,Win,Win.
Sweet, common sense prevails.
Neil Gorsuch has been awesome so far. Without him these decisions would be the other direction. There would be no ruling on the Travel Ban because there would not be a Travel Ban had Hill won. Thank you Lord for the victory of Trump or we would be up s**t creek without a paddle.
“This should be the end of public unions”
The union thugs are going to be working overtime...it’s going to get physical.
YES!!!!!....This is BIG....in Oregon it will be BIG.

Certainly for political contributions.
There is going to be a LOT of whining among the nutjobs today about Citizens. v United - how private sector companies are able to contribute to political causes as they see fit while the public sector unions are hamstrung by decrease in dues.
Of course for me this is a non-starter. How a private company with shareholders chooses to spend its money is up to them as long as it’s legal.
If the union’s cause is just, then its members should rally to it. If members resist, unions should figure out the reasons why.
Nope, but you gotta wonder if maybe old RBG isn’t... July is a good month for retirement!
RBG....Please answer your pager.... The President needs your seat and a string of 6-3 rulings
“employees must choose to support the union before anything is taken from them.”
To quote our wonderful President Trump:
“WOW”
Here is the decision: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-1466_2b3j.pdf
We can expect to see the Union membership rolls rapidly dwindle, just as it happened in Wisconsin. Ultimately, that will save the taxpayers of this, the most corrupt state in the country, hard-earned taxpayer dollars and reduce government pension obligations on taxpayer's backs as union memberships dwindle.
This is a GREAT win!
In Michigan it has to be immediately. If a member chooses to opt out the Institution MUST stop payroll deduction.
MEA tried foot dragging and claim a member could only opt out during the month of August I think ,but the courts said, um NO! Dues stops once a Member chooses to stop paying.
This includes government workers unions. This is a big deal.

It is huge. Now, among other things, money going to Democrat political campaigns will slow down dramatically.
See post #26
The conventional wisdom was Janus would win, but I was nervous. This is a satisfying decision and a day to celebrate freedom!
That kind of puts unions out of business UNLESS they offer something worth paying for. It is now voluntary
Unbroken thumbs, most likely
Yes, would be good to see Ginsberg, Kennedy, Kagan, and Sotomayor all retire. Shame if they stay around until they day and miss spending time with families, relocation to New Zealand, etc.
I read somewhere a few weeks ago that some unions and states were scheming to minimize impact. Probably starting with torturous rules and forms to opt out.
This only applies to government employees.
