Corporate Court a Win for Chamber of Commerce
From Ring of Fire:
This Term, the Supreme Court has sided with the US Chamber of Commerce in 7 of 8 decisions so far. According to data from the Constitutional Accountability Center, which has been tracking the Chamber’s win record for years, the biggest Chamber decisions for this Term still remain.
Though many people may think that the Chamber of Commerce is a government organization, it is, in fact, a powerful business lobbying group, serving the interests of mega-corporations. The organization has had “astounding success before the Roberts Court,” winning 88 percent of its cases since the beginning of October Term 2011.
The Chamber is involved in a total of 16 cases this Term. A pair of environmental cases yet to be decided could make this Term extremely significant for the Clean Air Act, depending on the outcomes. The Roberts Court will determine how much authority the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has to address problems like climate change and interstate air pollution.
