: CL&P BlogSenator Franken Condemns 5-4 Decision in Rent-a-Center v. Jackson
By Deepak Gupta
On the Senate floor, Senator Al Franken condemned the Supreme Court?s decision in Rent-A-Center v. Jackson (in which a 5-4 majority of the Court upheld the power of arbitration agreements to remove even threshold questions of validity from review by a court) and discussed how the case of Jamie Leigh Jones illustrates the effect of cases like Circuit City Stores v. Adams.
?Clearly this is a ruling that Congress needs to fix and I look forward to working with my colleagues to do so,? said Franken. ?Sometimes it?s easy to forget that Supreme Court matters to average people, to our neighbors and our kids."
