Obama vetoes union-busting bill

The Far Right's streak of stupid has continued, as the right-wing Congress recently passed a bill that would have gutted rules allowing more efficient union elections.

But today, President Obama vetoed the bill - his fourth veto in 6 years, but the second in just the past 3 months.

The union rules are still facing court challenges from business groups that say unionization violates free speech. Seriously, they say that.
