More 'Rights' Erosion

In Wisconsin, the state government is looking to revoke the hard-won "right" to collective bargaining for state workers.

Oh no, we're losing more rights! Where is the outcry from tea-party conservatives over this "slippery slope"? Aren't these the types of rights they fear we are losing in this country? Of course not. The correct term should be collective bargaining "privileges" because these are not constitutionally guaranteed rights, such as the right to due process.

Due process, whether codified or not, should be considered a fundamental right of all people and essential to the establishment of a society of harmony justice. Except for terrorists, of course. It seems there are rights and then there are rights.
