Quotes from this article:

For companies trying to compete in a fast-paced global economy, the question comes down to who gets to regulate your business. Should it be a single set of uniform national rules, or should your business be regulated by 50 attorneys general, thousands of municipalities, and hundreds of disparate jury verdicts?
Robin Conrad of the US Chamber of Commerce's National Chamber Litigation Center, on the SCOTUS' Good hearing Monday.
