      The big question, decision-wise, left is whether Justice Gorsuch has a surprise in for everyone in Janus. Remember, he said nothing at arguments:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-key-justice-in-todays-high-profile-arguments-over?utm_term=.qazywxyDb#.mh47Xm7J5 …

      The other question is whether a second term in a row will end with no news of any new retirement. Gorsuch joined the bench in April of last year, so it’s been just over 14 months of the current bench. From 1994 to 2005, by comparison, the court was the same nine justices.

      Supreme Court rules in favor of non-union workers who are now, as an example, able to support a candidate of his or her choice without having those who control the Union deciding for them. Big loss for the coffers of the Democrats!

          The final #SCOTUS decision of the term is in Florida v. Georgia — the water rights case. Breyer has the 5-4 decision, writing for himself, Roberts, Kennedy, Ginsburg, & Sotomayor. Thomas writes the dissent for himself, Alito, Kagan, & Gorsuch.

          Yes, justices can announce retirements whenever they want. Much about #SCOTUS is arbitrary — but this is one such arbitrary point that we pay attention to! An announcement of any retirement could still happen in the coming days, or any day. Carpe diem!

          "We are not defeated; we are emboldened," AFSCME president Lee Saunders, putting on a good face, says — but, acknowledging the Janus defeat, takes aim at #SCOTUS, calling it part of a "rigged system" whose decisions "take away" vulnerable people's "seats at the table."

          Of course the Constitution applies. But it has to actually MEAN something. You can't just say "BUT THE 37TH AMENDMENT!!!!" Read 8 USC 1182 (f). It lays out perfectly clearly that the President can restrict immigration in the interests of national security.

          I'm sure I must be missing something... but if Union dues being taken violates first amendment rights, what's that say about taxes being taken from my paycheck and used for things I don't approve of? His ruling talks about free speech and consent.

          There is a specific amendment (16th) to the constitution that permits the collection of income taxes. That’s what your missing, and I’m all in favor of it’s repeal. Good luck with that.
