Trader Joe's and Starbucks are helping Elon Musk undermine the US government | Steven Greenhouse

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Here's hoping that public interest prevails over Musk and the billionaires.
39% : Administrative judges - whether labor board judges, immigration judges or Social Security judges - have legal protections against being summarily fired so that they can make honest, independent decisions without fear of being terminated for political reasons.
33% : If SpaceX's lawsuit succeeds in getting the federal courts to declare the NLRB unconstitutional, it could set a dangerous precedent that other courts seize on to weaken or even eviscerate other federal agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha), and perhaps even the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Social Security Administration.
29% : Moreover, what SpaceX is demanding would allow Trump, if re-elected, to do something that corporate America would hate - fire labor board judges because they upset him by ruling in favor of companies whose CEOs had criticized him or not donated to his campaign.
21% : Indeed, SpaceX's lawsuit could serve as a potent wrecking ball in the right's push to weaken and perhaps demolish the administrative state - the network of federal agencies that the US Congress created to, among other things, promote workers' safety on the job, prevent fraud in financial markets, protect workers' right to unionize, limit environmental hazards, make sure consumer products are safe and administer Social Security for seniors.
