Alito, Alito, He's Our Man...From Corporate America Songbook
Category: Seeing Clearly Now
It may not be as glamorous as the Academy Award won by former Vice President Al Gore, but Justice Samuel Alito has been awarded the Bloomie as the Pro-Business Champion of the U.S. Supreme Court. President Bush may have a friend in Jesus, but corporations have Alito - for years and years and years.
Alito Champions Business Causes in First Full High-Court Term
In what may have been the most pro- business U.S. Supreme Court term in decades, standing out as companies' No. 1 ally was no small feat. Justice Samuel Alito managed it in his first full year.As the court term comes to a close this week, Alito has emerged as the justice friendliest to the interests of corporations. He sided with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business lobby, in 13 of 14 cases this term, more often than any of his colleagues. He cast votes to limit punitive damages, ease regulation and restrict suits by investors, consumers and alleged victims of job bias.
"On the cases where it's possible to differentiate the justices, he's been on the pro-business side every time," said Roy Englert, a Washington lawyer with Robbins Russell Englert Orseck & Untereiner who won a telecommunications case he argued before the court this year.

Why don't we just appoint a corporation or business organization to the court instead of a person? I propose the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
