Something that I didn't understand about this lawsuit was that if what the Teacher's Union was worried about was the inability of their members to participate in the process if they were working... on a Saturday, why didn't they move to try and get a similar deal to the one the casino workers got? Instead, they decided that blocking the casino workers would bring the equality they desired.
What kind of mentality is that? I can't do something, so here, let me make sure nobody else can? If you feel so passionate about the inability of some of the union members to participate in the process, why wait until now?
The whole thing was just pretty suspect, in particular when four of the plaintiffs behind the lawsuit had originally voted to allow the casinos to serve as caucus locations. The ties to the Clinton Campaign make the whole thing even worse.
It's a shame to see such a move, I'd certainly be all about supporting an effort from the Teacher's Union to allow school workers working that Saturday to caucus at their schools, but all I can do is shake my head at this strange lawsuit they decided to engage in instead.
