Corporate Accountability
Corporations, The Constitution and the Roberts Court
Doug Kendall is founder and President of the Constitutional Accountability Center, a think tank, law firm and action center dedicated to fulfilling the progressive promise of our Constitution’s text and history. Mr. Kendall’s presentation focused on the Roberts Court’s tendency to disproportionately agree with the positions of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce–a tendency that has led to the adoption of ultra-conservative rulings in the commercial context which threaten the rights of the individual in favor of big business.
