The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could result in “Right to Work” applying to public sector employees, possibly resulting in no mandatory dues payments to public sector unions. Obviously this is a frightening prospect for the Left. ThinkProgress Justice Editor Ian Millhiser explains exactly why:

And why is that so concerning to the Left? Worker rights? Well, that’s not at the top of the list:
Just so we're clear what's going on here, the GOP is using its stolen SCOTUS seat to devastate a major source of Democratic political power. https://t.co/0Kq8jG4AtH

Well that was easy:

OOPS!
I mean, thanks for admitting the real reason you're concerned about public sector unions https://t.co/kJTRmB6prm

What a winning argument. "You see, right now the law forces those who object to donate to a major source of Democratic political power…"

Forced membership and dues are "a major source of Democratic political power"? Hmm. Voluntary membership scares the hell out of Democrats. https://t.co/5tBivc5IIh

When you admit that you’re only concerned because it benefits it to politically. https://t.co/RFZxGswAWQ

Been trying to figure out the purpose of public sector unions all these years and… he just…. tweeted it.

Wow…Not even bothering to hide #Democrat corruption anymore. Oh, and you can't "steal" a #SCOTUS seat. U're just mad Dems were outplayed. https://t.co/mpE5WdjyDg

In which Millhiser admits that none of this is about worker rights for the Left. It's all about Democratic political power. https://t.co/9ASiIweiXK

Unions force political speech, which is why they're in trouble, and Ian doesn't seem to get he's admitting that here. https://t.co/pxdo3skKeK

Millhiser’s tweet was really helpful.
It’s called hardball politics. As a reporter you might realize it’s nothing out of the normal.

I find it continually amazing that the election of Trump doesn't make you want to reduce the size of government

Isn’t is something else?
I agree with FDR, there shouldn't be public sector unions. Also,is this kind of like how Obama weaponized the IRS to go after Conservatives?
