Muskrat and Bozo declare the NLRB "unconstitutional"

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/11/18/2287121/-Musk-and-Bezos-Declare-The-National-Labor-Relations-Board-Unconstitutional

...

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos filed a lawsuit in the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that the National Relations Board is unconstitutional.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is under the aegis of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Part of the Fifth Circuit is the Northern District of Texas. In that district is District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk. You may remember him as the judge who tried to ban Mifipristone, the abortion drug, nationwide.

In the Northern District of Texas, there are 18 judges. Only one of them was installed by a Democrat which was Bill Clinton.

The case is going to be heard by a panel of judges in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Of the Circuit Court judges, only five out of 26 were appointed by a Democratic president.

Elon and Jeff have gone District shopping instead of Judge shopping. It would be hard to find another District that was more designed for conservative Republican goals. . . .

Nevertheless, the attempt was apparently made.

I really think I COULD take a bite out of Leon or Jeff after they'd been properly rotisseried.

That's what they keep saying, anyway.

Isn't America great? Isn't capitalism wonderful?

I am so very glad that I am old and not in my 30's anymore. I don't think I want to be around when the ultra rich burn this planet to ashes while forcing the rest of us back into a serfdom.

I'll have to work till I drop dead and recently I've been thinking that can't come soon enough.
