I claim it’s extreme and unreasonable because it’s outside of the view most people have on the issue. Most people do not see unions co-opting the normal political process. Most people don’t think being a public employee ought to mean giving up rights. The exceptions I mentioned are exceptions in current law, not necessarily exceptions that I support. The law has inconsistencies in it. In the comments one lawyer mentioned that the government can’t censor and this is of course not true. CIA employees have limits on their free speech rights for instance.

I don't think those words mean what you think they mean. The word you're looking for is "unpopular".

> Most people do not see unions co-opting the normal political process.

You keep saying "unions", but I allege that this remains a verbal trick on the part of public employee unions, to lump themselves in with other unions.

I'm sure your statement is true on its face, but I'm not so sure it's true when applied only to public employee unions.

I'm much less sure of its truth when applied specifically to local groups of voters. Try asking some of the ones living in bankrupted municipalities.

> The exceptions I mentioned are exceptions in current law

This makes your argument/opinion very hard to follow, since you string together "should" statements with "is". Is that by design?
