McCain today in Green Bay, WI:

Senator Obama has simply not given Americans good reason to trust him with your tax dollars. My opponent is against lowering taxes on businesses which are the second highest in the world. He will impose mandated health insurance on businesses that would cost up to $12,000 per employee. He opposes free trade. He also wants to take away the fundamental right of workers to have a secret ballot when voting to be part of a union. Now is not the time for these destructive policies that will cripple business growth, destroy jobs and hurt the middle class.

Any constitutional scholars want to weigh in on that one?  I understand the faux moral outrage ginned up by Republicans about open unionization ballots, but, really, a fundamental right?

This puts the privacy of your vote to unionize on par, in John McCain’s view, with the right to life, your right to bear arms, and workers’ “right to know when their jobs, pensions, IRAs, investments, and our whole economy are being put at risk by the recklessness of Wall Street.”  Not included in McCain’s list of fundamental rights (assuming that by fundamental he means rights logically extended to all humans and not just all Americans, which fits in with his use of the term “fundamental right” so far) is the right to medical privacy and the right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus:

We are now going to have the courts flooded with so-called, quote, Habeas Corpus suits against the government, whether it be about the diet, whether it be about the reading material.
