2. "Justice" Is A One-Way Street

Contrast this with the Hobby-Lobby decision. In that decision they said an owner can impose his deeply held religious beliefs on his workers. Here they say the workers cannot band together for demands against the boss.

They routinely say that the Constitution only applies restrictions on what the government can or cannot do. Free enterprise is pretty much free to do what they want within the laws passed by the government that also comply with what the Supreme Court says the Constitution allows. Here they say there is no law that allows assembling together for a common goal therefore it is illegal to assemble for the common goal even though that activity is allowed if the grievance is against the government. It is a strange position to take but one that is taken all of the time.
