The man who sits in a stolen seat wrote the majority opinion. In her dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called for congressional remedies in the ruling:
The Supreme Court just gave a big gift to employers who violate the law. https://t.co/aHxZrSid8n via @HuffPostPol

There are huge implications to this SCOTUS ruling upholding forced arbitration in the workplace. More workers will have to sign away their right to join a class action, just to get a job. Suing over wage theft and discrimination will become more difficult. https://t.co/0zUhvUxhXc

If Merrick Garland were on the Supreme Court instead of Gorsuch, this ruling would have come out the other way & workers would have been able to use class actions for effective redress--instead of being relegated to individual arbitrations, which are often skewed & nearly useless https://t.co/IlP1RDssBn

Today's Supreme Court decision shows that if you don't care about whether the president is an unreconstructed racist who wants to use DOJ as his personal fiefdom and noticeably increases the chances of nuclear disaster, you can get some neat victories for your political movement.

Supreme Court just dealt huge blow to employee class actions. Here's the next strategy many progressives, expecting their loss today, have been planning to revive them: "private attorney general" laws https://t.co/sT9v4rHOKb May also be destined for Supreme Court in years ahead https://t.co/kFeUklBDzp

The second worst thing about SCOTUS legalizing low-level wage theft is that now I have to slog through a Gorsuch opinion. By which I mean that Gorsuch is a pedantic writer who over-explains things in a way that uses too many words and also ridiculous metaphors. #Gorsuchstyle

Next time someone tells you that Neil Gorsuch is a textualist, throw a copy of today's forced arbitration decision in his face. The man is such a hack.https://t.co/kgDu56CuiT
