Musk and Bezos Declare The National Labor Relations Board Unconstitutional

They tried it before, but now they're doing it as a team.

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.

Given this Court’s contempt for settled, accepted precedent, it would have no problem overturning Parrish.

Trump has a history as a union buster going back to even before the time he was pro wrestling impresario.
Maintenance workers in office buildings he owned a long long time ago.

Expect a big anti-union push from the new administration.
