    JUDGMENT DAY: It's the last day of the Supreme Court term with two rulings left -- one of which is a major challenge to the influence of public sector unions. Based on the oral argument & court's conservative majority, unions expect to lose:https://reut.rs/2KsJqYT

        5-4 ruling on ideological lines with Justice Alito writing, pretty much as expected. A big loss for organized labor that unions were anticipating

        Justice Kagan is reading at length from her dissent, in which she accused the court of "weaponizing" the First Amendment

        Alito says that "legal and economic backdrop" has changed since the 1977 Abood ruling, noting that rise of unions led to increases in public spending, and subsequently to problems funding benefits packages (and municipal bankruptcies). Says Abood is an "anomaly."

        Presidential tweet doesn't quite nail what the case was about. Non-member workers already could support candidates of their choosing and unions had to separate out political spending from collective bargaining spending. Now non-members don't have to pay unions anythingpic.twitter.com/bUR8arQf4U
