The lawsuit claimed union representation was forced on self-employed people who weren't state employees and got no benefit from paying dues. But U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker in Grand Rapids said there simply were too many conflicts to make it a class-action case.

He said there may be child-care providers who had no problem paying dues.

"Determining whether a refund is inappropriate would require the court to conduct an individualized inquiry into the motivation of each and every class member's union membership to determine whether that member voluntarily submitted to the deduction in the first place," Jonker said in a Dec. 22 order.

Disputes over laws governing unions, he said, should be in the Capitol, rather than the courts.

That's right.  Now, why this mole riddled bitch, her lardass underling and his wife are not behind bars, well, it still amazes me.
