The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a blow to the rights of workers Monday by allowing companies to require them to sign away their ability to bring class-action claims against management, agreements already in place for about 25 million employees.
The justices, in a 5-4 ruling with the court’s conservatives in the majority, endorsed the legality of the growing practice by companies to compel workers to sign arbitration agreements waiving their right to bring class-action claims on issues such as overtime wages or gender-based pay disparities either in court or before private arbitrators.

Yep. And his position should have been filled by Obama’s pick. Fuckin’ totalitarian asshole Mitchy McDickel, like all Republicans, can care less about, democracy, America, or our constitution. Smouldering piece of methane producing turtle dung!

I read a few weeks ago that Mitch considers Gorsuch his greatest politcal achievement.
That just about says it all, doesn’t it.

Many are talking about the Demos riding a “blue wave” in the upcoming elections. However, as one news source pointed out … they have yet to provide their plans for change.
Hear ye! Hear ye! Just being blue won’t do the trick, guys & gals!

That ain’t gonna happen. I think we’re in for a red sweep clear across the board for 10 years plus to come. I hope I’m wrong. I really do, but Trump is a shooting star with his approval rating, people apparently LOVE him, and Repukes do not lose elections. They do whatever they have to to win. Just ask Putin.

Indeed, Jill Dennison has a post up today expressing doubts about a “blue wave” in November. She makes some very good points.
