Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson raised concerns over the Supreme Court's apparent bias toward corporate interests, stating that corporations face lesser hurdles compared to ordinary citizens. Justice Sonia Sotomayor supported this view by highlighting harsh regulations imposed on less favored groups. The Roberts Court has sided with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 70 percent of cases, a sharp increase over previous decades. Recent rulings have also diminished the authority of agencies and weakened protections meant for safe workplaces and clean environments.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recently criticized the Supreme Court for being "overly sympathetic to corporate interests" and favoring "moneyed interests" over ordinary citizens.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor expressed concern about the court's reluctance to limit regulated businesses while imposing harsh regulations on other groups, calling it "Kafkaesque."
The Roberts Court has sided with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in nearly 70 percent of cases, significantly higher than prior decades' rates around 50 percent.
Recent decisions have restricted judicial deference to agency views and limited agencies' authority, undermining laws for safe workplaces, environmental protections, and fair financial practices.
