Kasich busts health care unions

This is the type of story that'll make you miss the days when John Kasich was a congressman instead of Governor of Ohio (back when he looked like Jim Carrey's character in Dumb And Dumber). At least back then, Fox News Channel was pretty new and wouldn't have been able to cheer him on as much.

This week, Kasich issued an order that bans health care and child care workers under contract with the state from joining a labor union.

I don't even need to tell you this - because you're smart enough to already know - but this order is clearly unconstitutional. The right to unionize is guaranteed as part of the right to freely associate. A majority of the workers had voted for the union. Federal labor statutes also apply.

Maybe what workers need to do instead is form a cult, call it a religion, and sue the government for special rights and taxpayer-funded bailouts. That's what our "friends" on the right do, so why not?
