Thanks... I have read that news. Additionally, the Supreme Court of the Unites States' decision is a glaring call for Congress to amend and reform the Federal Arbitration Act to remove the pernicious and dangerous interpretations placed upon it by the Supreme Court of the United States. Ultimately, if large corporations can write all the rules in the fine print of the form contracts that pervade every aspect of American life, they can and will write those rules in such a way that they are insulated and immunized against any liability for wrongful, negligent and even intentional harms and abuses.
