Illinois Personal Assistant Case

The Supreme Court in its recent decision,, affirms that " no person in this country may be compelled to subsidize speech by a third party.

However, there was no subsidizing of speech. the non-members of the SEIU were paying a "fee for services" to the Union for collective bargaining services and not paying to support the broader political aims of the Union.

We have come to a pretty pass when a majority of the members the Supreme Court of the United States cannot (or are unwilling to) make this distinction.
