The brief cites the court's admissions of powerlessness, claiming federal courts "do not have discretion," "do not have power," and "cannot set aside an arbitration award based on legal error." This language reflects a worrying abdication of judicial authority outlined in Article III when the Federal Arbitration Act was enacted.
