The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with SpaceX earlier this week, ruling that the National Labor Relations Board’s current structure is unconstitutional. The decision will keep the agency hamstrung until the case makes its way to the Supreme Court.
Is the fifth circuit then one conservatives go shopping for to get the pants on head stupid rulings they want?
If so, can we start calling it conservatives pleading the fifth?
I’ve seen the fifth circuit described as “a collection of 4chan posts wearing robes,” so yes.
Looks like the class war just got hot
i don’t like how Jacobin takes the “well this probably won’t happen” or “it’ll likely go this way” approach to fascism. it really bothers me how neutrally optimistic they are trying to be as if their professional image is being scrutinized so they can’t engage deeper than that. tbh, it’s foolish to claim such things at this point. Trump and his administration have showed that they are not following any previously laid path, so your reassurance is ultimately hollow. we can’t make predictions based on what would or wouldn’t make sense lol that is sadly irrelevant.

Sounds like somebody needs to be reminded that without the NLRB setting fair rules, “illegal” tactics like wildcat strikes, sympathy strikes, union violence, etc. are back on the menu.

+1 for union violence
