This piece addresses the absolutely terrifying changes and restrictions applied to the workers' remedy (litigation) over the past twenty-five years. It explains who is mostly responsible for removing vital layers of protection from the working and middle classes, protection that was once provided by a Supreme Court that may have actually represented a broad spectrum of American viewpoints. Today's court is basically like our two-party system, a fake left and a fake right and behind which are nine very pro-corporate justices. This extremely well-written and researched piece explains how that has come to pass and who the key players are. Anyone who invests the time to read this will be awfully glad that they did.
