Kagan: SCOTUS Turned The First Amendment ‘Into A Sword’

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 that public-sector workers cannot be required to pay fees to the unions that represent them.
...
Kagan’s dissent, in which she was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor, was a withering critique of the majority’s willingness to overturn the precedent set in an earlier landmark case. She also said her right-leaning colleagues turned the First Amendment into “a sword” used to influence politics and the economy.


I don't think she realizes what she admitted to there. If not requiring workers to pay fees to unions is used to influence politics and the economy, then she's admitting that unions already influence politics and the economy. They influence politics by donating union dues to Democrats who don't care how much taxpayer money they have to use to support the unions...one hand washing the other. And how such artificially inflated wages and taxes harm the economy.

Wow, Kagan's dissent is mind-numbingly stupid. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17...6_2b3j.pdf
It's like she doesn't even understand the purposes of unions nor the First Amendment.
