Quick Look Over There!
In the waning hours before the Supreme Court is set to rule on the Hobby Lobby case, and Obamacare's abortion mandate, what do you predict they will rule? Me? Well, I think they will rule against Hobby Lobby, and I would love to be wrong. I predict a 5-4 ruling against Hobby Lobby. Not because I want them to, but because I have a bad feeling about this entire case. Though, the oral arguments did sound promising, that didn't mean much when they upheld Obamacare. But let me repeat, I WANT to be wrong.
As for the Harris v. Quinn case, I predict a 5-4 ruling in favor of the plaintiff. I believe that just because a certain field in the public sector is unionized, it doesn't mean that you can force someone who has a profession in said field to associate with you and make them pay dues. That's where government is wrong. I can understand the First Amendment argument here. She has a right to not associate with public sector unions in the state of Illinois. Moreover, I think the contract that the SEIU Healthcare Illinois-Indiana made with the state violates the First Amendment altogether and is unconstitutional. This case has the potential to kill unions altogether, if the court rules in favor of Pamela Harris. And it will most likely overturn the Abood v. Detroit Board of Education decision of 1977.
So, what say you?
Why would you expect a ruling from a USSC that is majority conservative to rule favorably for unions or Obamacare? I would expect 5-4 votes in either case.
Here's the kicker, Justice Roberts originally ruled in favor of upholding Obamacare. So that is quite telling. He was originally a conservative justice, now he is a swing vote.
Well the far left can not help it when the commands come down and their far left programming takes over.
Although it would seem that you guessed correctly on the decisions of the day, both were 5-4 rulings.
Congrats!
