Politics makes strange bedfellows, though. Corporations may give lip service and even more to lefty causes, but quite often it’s just trying to buy them off. When actually pressed, they prefer conservative courts; these will not be constantly surprising them with new liabilities. This is why it is credible when Donald Trump says he wants more Thomases on the USSC.

The big ones probably figure they can afford to weather the liabilities with their army of lawyers and bought off judges. Their smaller competitors will be screwed.
But the big fights between major companies will make them all the real difference by buying off the judges.
I think conservatives are just recognizing that judges are a major playing field where law is made. Something the left has been at for 100 years.
If they can get the low level courts, then they will raise the bar for activist leftist suing and blackmailing them for money.
” This is why it is credible when Donald Trump says he wants more Thomas’s on the USSC. “
Until Trump can show that he can beat Hillary Clinton rather than loses in a landslide against her, what he wants is ill-relevant. Trump has also pointed out this is why he has a long history of given to democrats.
