As recent events unfold, a pressing question emerges: Who’s the bigger fraud, Judge Brett Kavanaugh or Governor Bruce Rauner?

“I’m not questioning that Dr. Ford may have been sexually assaulted . . . “

               Or, as Rauner himself put it: “Boy, I’ve got to tell you, holding up the center has been incredibly hard as governor.”

               For his first three years as governor, Rauner was able to drag Republican legislators off the cliff with him on his anti-union policies.

               Under pressure, Rauner flip-flopped, again, and wound up signing HB 40. That angered Ives so much she ran against Rauner in the Republican primary.

               That’s the lawsuit filed by Mark Janus, a former state employee, that led to the Supreme Court ruling that public sector employees have a First Amendment right not to pay union fees, even if unions are obliged to represent those workers.
