As Justice Kagan said in the dissent:
In a little-known case called American Express v. Italian Colors Restaurant, the Supreme Court today issued yet another decision making it easier for big corporations to use their market power to
screw over consumers and small businesses. Thursday's 5-3 decision
affirmed the right of big corporations to use mandatory arbitration
clauses in contracts to force small businesses to challenge monopolistic
practices in private arbitration rather than through class actions in
court. The case shows once again that the conservative majority, led by
Chief Justice John Roberts, has no problem with judicial activism when
it comes to bolstering corporate power.
