MODERATORS
I think the reason that they're fighting it so hard is to defend arbitration clauses while the courts are still conservitive controlled. If they got sued in court despite the arbitration clause then that sets president to throw out those clauses. If they can get the courts to uphold the clause then that actually gives arbitration clauses some teeth. But if they're going to do that then the need to do it now while there is still any chance of it being ruled in their favor and they have the money to drag this thing all the way up to the corrupt supreme court if they need to.
I can't see any way that they win this case on the merits of the argument.
But if I'm wrong and they win, a whole lot of lawsuits are gonna disappear. That's a terrible precedent to set.
Current SCOTUS are something of terrible prescident afficionados.
