As usual, some Dems (and four SC justices) think that the SCOTUS should be making law, rather than interpreting it, as written.

There is a check & balance for this very thing, without some Supreme Court ruling.

You want government to run the business for your restitution? Isn't that Fascism?

Yes the supreme court rules on constitutionality, some seem to only think that conservative justices are able to understand the constitution. The fact that this was such a narrow decision should make you believe it is not that clear cut.
Regardless if you agree with the decision it will impact middle class workers.
Sounds like that was ruled unconstitutional, and it is none of the governments business.


If it were me, I'd chain the gates and lock the doors, give everyone their last paycheck and place an add in the classified for help.

The 4 justices that disagreed were rambling but the 5 in the majority are the only members that can interpret the constitution. Even something as simple as the two phrases in the 2nd amendment requires extensive hearings yet you are sure about this outcome. One more vote andconservatives would be claiming that SCOTUS was legislating from the bench.



I will not hire anyone without them signing my employment contract.
They don't have to sign it. They can go work elsewhere.

The state of the labor unions is the main difference between America and the rest of the developed world these days.
People who are against the workers make a compelling case when they say if you raise the minimum wage, you're going to be out of a job. If there is any attempt to raise the minimum wage of $7.25 an hour in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, that's just what low pay workers will hear.

Well, that is what we have been living under for 100 years now. You don't recognize it all around you?
And here the Supreme Court says, government has no business or authority getting involved in how this business does business, you scream and want your Fascism back.


You really want to wage a war against Fascism & Communism?
Repeal the 16th Amendment. The mechanism that allowed it to happen in the first place.

Justice Ginsburg said that 53% of corporations have these in their contract. You radical republicans act like the corporations are not acting in concert.
