How does the Supreme Court affect us as consumers? We know that it deals with same-sex marriage, but what about Amazon.com ripping us off? Both these topics are influenced by the Court - and who is appointed to it. One issue that consumers are facing in dealing with big online entities is that they're signing fine print that prohibits them from suing. So if Amazon steals $1 from millions of people, people most likely will just have to accept it. Lawsuits are not allowed. Only arbitration, a path which most often benefits the big guys.
