The Leiter Side of Union Thuggery

James Taranto appears to be working riffs with blogress Ann Althouse on a lot of issues, well, two, anyway, concerning the left's lurching once more, after calling for "civility" after the Giffords shooting, toward the violence and coercion where it finds a natural home.

Suffice it to say that the recent shakedowns by police unions on private companies have an air of mafiosi malignancy about them. Read the two articles above for the gist of the shakedown, but it seems that the criminal elements of the left are beginning to assert themselves, which always seems to occur when a Republican victory succeeds a Demonrat takeover of the public weal---as a nanny-bitch named Elizabeth Warren is trying to do under the Indonesian Imbecile's auspices.

The Republicans should defund this PMS case before she inflicts more harm on a housing economy that is still shaky. And when are the GOP going to stand up to that gibbering fool twiddling his thumbs in the Oval Office?
