Unions Are in Peril

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Lost in the Supreme Court media chatter last week: a disturbing ruling in Knox vs. SEIU Local 1000 that restricts labor unions from directing collected dues toward political causes. There s no similar limit on corporations, naturally, yet another indication that the power and status of modern unions is waning, especially when compared to the unbridled influence of Corporate America. With a sharp decline in union membership, a legion of new enemies, and a series of legal and legislative setbacks, can unions rebound and once again act strongly in the interest of ordinary workers?''

Rebecca Leber, ThinkProgress: ''Republicans have said they are for all forms of energy, but the Domestic Energy Production Act passed today shows much different priorities. While the energy package included many provisions to encourage oil and gas, clean energy was included only twice. GOP leaders did not even permit debate over amendments to include support for renewables and other forms of clean energy.''

The GOP s Crime Against Voters

Eugene Robinson, The Washington Post Writers Group: ''Spare us any more hooey about 'preventing fraud' and 'protecting the integrity of the ballot box.' The Republican-led crusade for voter ID laws is revealed as a cynical ploy to disenfranchise as many likely Democratic voters as possible, with poor people and minorities the main targets.''
