Some are stupid. Some are traitorous. Some are merely misguided and credulous. And some (a few, I can name some of them) are actually bright and principled and good folks.

But most are either dumb as a stump or traitorous.

Ron may have been a decent twat doctor before he became a politician, but he obviously knows little about organized labor. It should be treated as what it was under the common law - a unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade and to commit extortion.

A strike (often coupled with attacks on people who don't care to honor the picket lines) isn't an assembly to petition the government. First Amendment involves the rights of the people as related to relations with teh government - not relations between private parties. Which is why the owners of this board can ban people who offend them. If the First Amendment applied to relations between private parties, they couldn't.

Actually, if you REALLY need a reason to be suspicious of Gandhi - he was a lawyer....

And others. The common law wouldn't have any particular problem with Wally World. Nor, probably, should it. Of course, the common law, as originally understood, didn't recognize artificial persons, either.
