Roberts Court to Working Women: "Drop Dead"

No surprise here.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday threw out the largest employment discrimination case in the nation’s history. The suit, against Wal-Mart Stores, had sought to consolidate the claims of as many as 1.5 million women on the theory that the company had discriminated against them in pay and promotion decisions.
The Roberts Supreme Court is hostile to anyone who is trying to obtain justice against a corporation. They are not the only court like that. I once did a search of appellate court decisions and found that there was more than one Federal circuit where workers suing for discrimination on less than ten percent of the time. I've read decisions which made me question whether the judges had ever punched a time clock in their lives, and I'm pretty damn sure that the answer was "no".

Justice by and for the elites. Other than a few decades here and there, that's pretty much the way it has always been.
