Warren warned union leaders at the AFL-CIO convention in Los Angeles of a "corporate capture of the federal courts," citing an academic study that counted the five conservative-minded Supreme Court justices among the "top 10 most pro-corporate justices in half a century," according to Politico.
You follow this pro-corporate trend to its logical conclusion, and sooner or later youll end up with a Supreme Court that functions as a wholly owned subsidiary of big business, she said, as quoted by Politico.
The Massachusetts Democrat also struck a chord with labor by voicing skepticism about upcoming trade deals and criticizing Wall Street for throwing "everything they've got" against banking regulation.
"Ah, if we could only clone her," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said after Warren concluded her remarks, as quoted by Politico.
