Why We Should Worry About the Hostile Takeover of America’s Court System

It’s easy to forget what Supreme Court nomination fights really mean once they are over. They come along every few years, there’s a whole media circus around them that focuses only on hot-button social issues, and then, typically after Democrats roll over and die, there’s little - if any - recollection of what it all meant, except in the few cases where the hot-button social issues actually come before the court, and they don’t usually come up for years, so by that point, everyone has long forgotten which President or political party was responsible for the nominations that swung the court.
What gets buried in this cycle, of course, is the fact that the Supreme Court exerts itself most forcefully on the key financial and corporate power issues - the issues that engineer who are winners and who are losers in America’s economy. As I pointed out during the last year’s debate over whether to confirm corporate lawyer John Roberts as chief justice, corporate issues are now a major focus of the court. "The Supreme Court’s rulings on abortion and religion capture the headlines, but much of the business before the high court deals with the conduct of business," noted Knight Ridder at the time. "In the court’s term that ended this week, for instance, about 30 percent of the rulings involved business issues."
