Federal Courts and Nominations
Study released by CAC
Yesterday the Constitutional Accountability Center released a study – conducted in part in response to a statement by Justice Breyer that business groups are not faring better now than in the past – comparing the treatment of business cases by the Burger and Roberts Courts.

Doug Kendall, the president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, discusses the study’s results at the Huffington Post.Bloomberg, ACSblog, and the Wonk Room at Think Progress also take note of the study.
