All this week, SCOTUSblog is hosting a symposium on Friedrichs v. CTA. Lyle Denniston posted a primer on the case this morning, and Deborah La Fetra of the Pacific Legal Foundation has written the symposium’s first post. La Fetra argues that Abood should be overruled because it “was based on faulty premises and an unrealistic view of public-employee unionism, and the rule it announced infringes on individual rights.” La Fetra is writing PLF’s amicus brief in support of the petitioners’ position.
