The NYT flags a study published
in the Minnesota Law Review that argues the current Supreme Court is the most business friendly court since WW2:
In the eight years since Chief Justice Roberts joined the court, it has allowed corporations to spend freely in elections in the Citizens United case,
has shielded them from class actions and human rights suits, and has
made arbitration the favored way to resolve many disputes. Business
groups say the Roberts court’s decisions have helped combat frivolous
lawsuits, while plaintiffs’ lawyers say the rulings have destroyed
legitimate claims for harm from faulty products, discriminatory
practices and fraud.
