The courts do, or buisinesses who lobbied congress for the mechanism do? Speculation, I don't actually know how this sausage got made, but I imagine it had a lot of grease from big companies.
- darpa_escapee 9y agoThe prevailing narrative is that the court system is somehow constantly overloaded, so everything from settling out of court to plea bargains to private arbitration are favored.
- Sangermaine 9y agoYou don't need to couch this in conspiratorial terms: it's not "the prevailing narrative", courts ARE overburdened. The "somehow" is that they are underfunded and understaffed, because creating more judicial resources means spending more money and often raising taxes, which no one wants to do. Everyone wants more judicial capacity, no one wants to pay for it.
