Cheered on by right-wing media, the conservative justices of the Roberts Court are steadily dismantling Americans' ability to access justice through class actions, case after case.
The latest chance for the Supreme Court to roll back consumer protections in favor of big business is inHalliburton v. Erica P. John Fund, a case that could make it more difficult for investors to bring class action lawsuits against corporations who commit fraud. Right-wing media have been busy misinforming about the case, calling securities litigation a "situation basically directly out of a Kafka novel," a "windfall" for plaintiffs lawyers, and have attacked class actions as "frivolous" and "ineffective."
For its part, the conservative Roberts Court has repeatedly sided with corporations, all the while making it difficult for consumers to fight back. Under Roberts, the Court has slashed at its own precedent in an effort tomake class actions obsolete, making it more difficult for women and people of color who have been systematically paid less by their employers to join together as a class to sue.
there has to be a way to change the law of lifetime appointments that is ridiculous the constitution provides for this travesty of American freedom and dispensing of the laws, times change as our scotus has proven very few of them do, we have justices saying no need for discrimination control in voting rights they deny it like those who practice those denial of rights, it is not fair or balanced or representative of the majority of Americans more times than not favors big business and republican interest. why has there not been any real substantial discourse about a change that is sorely needed.
"Equal Justice Under Law" over the western façade
"Justice the Guardian of Liberty" over the eastern façade
recent rulings reflect none of their mantra's, it is facade alright
