An angel gets its wings: SCOTUS rules against Big Labor in SEIU smackdown

The Supreme Teases still haven’t handed down decisions on Obamacare and Arizona’s immigration law, but this morning they gave us a little somethin’ somethin’ to get us through the weekend: a tasty SEIU smackdown.

Every time the Ninth Circuit is reversed and angel gets its wings #seiu #scotus

The right side of the Twitterverse celebrated the decision.

SEIU strong-arm, coerced dues tactics against its own workers EXPOSED, overruled by SCOTUS. Rank&file workers, 1. Big Labor goons, 0.

Keep up the good work, President Obama.

All that money spent electing Obama, and his first SCOTUS pick rules against #SEIU.

I love that Barack Obama presided over the death of unions.
