odinsblog:Forced Arbitration is in direct conflict with the 7th Amendment, which guarantees the right to a jury trial in certain civil cases, and inhibits courts from overturning a jury’s findings of fact. Under Forced Arbitration, big business get to pick arbitrators who have demonstrated a record of judging in their favor. In the Bill of Rights, the 7th Amendment of The US Constitution ensures that all Americans have the right to a jury trial in civil cases. Forced arbitration clauses, which prohibit jury trials in disputes with corporate lawbreakers, violates that right. At this point, John Roberts and his right wing SCOTUS are no longer deciding questions before the law—they’re judicial activists, striking down Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and codifying laws that favor big businesses over individuals. -- source link
