"SNIP.............
Wednesdays Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Sen. Al Franken expressed his concern about several decisions that favored businesses over consumers. What were worried about, he explained, is another 54 Roberts Court making one decision after another
that hurts consumers. Franken then tied conservatives interest in preserving these decisions to Senate Republicans unprecedented filibuster of Merrick Garland: You said earlier, theres no Democratic judges, there are no Republican judges. If thats the case, what was Merrick Garland about? Thats what it was about.
[This] core group of cases in which the Roberts Court continually has ruled in favor of corporations.
