Examiner Editorial: Big Labor going under Supreme Court's microscope

Supreme Court justices will be putting Big Labor under a microscope during their current term. The justices will hear cases dealing with issues ranging from President Obama’s abuse of his recess-appointment power to pack the National Labor Relations Board with pro-union activists, to Big Labor’s attempts to pressure businesses and local governments into forcing their employees to join favored unions.

It’s good news that Chief Justice John Roberts and his eight black-robed colleagues are doing this. If anything, the justices should have been bolder because union bosses are exempt from a surprising number of laws that apply to everyone else.
