DESCRIPTION: The Supreme Corp.\nHave Corporate and Right-Wing Interests Captured the Court?\n \nIn the era of Chief Justice Roberts, the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed justices have delivered landmark victories for corporate and right-wing interests in dozens of cases, like Citizens United v. FEC, Shelby County v. Holder, and Janus v. AFSCME. Have the conservative justices on the Court been effectively “captured” by these corporate and right-wing interests? If so, what role has the nominations process played and what can be done to reverse this trend and ensure the Court serves only the interest of impartiality, objectivity, and the rule of law? \n\n \nJoin ACS for a discussion of Supreme Court capture, featuring keynote remarks by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, author of the recently published ACS Issue Brief A Right-Wing Rout: What the "Roberts Five" Decisions Tell Us About the Integrity of Today's Supreme Court.\n\n \nWednesday, May 8th\nCenter for American Progress\n1333 H Street, NW, Tenth Floor\nWashington, DC 20005\n \nAgenda\n 11:30am to 12:30pm: A Broken Process?
