      The worst part is companies ALREADY FORUM SHOP.

      Look at East Texas for patents, and Montana for Credit Card companies

        If corporations win this some state like South Carolina or Oklahoma will make it basically impossible to sue corporations in their state. Every corporation will (on paper only) have their HQ to that state and then insist any lawsuit against them be brought to trial there.

          That basically already exists, and it's Delaware (also President Scab's home state lol). Seriously, just look at how many companies are """headquartered""" here

          I think it works that if they get sued it goes to an arbitration court instead of an actual, normal court proceeding by default

          They've already done that without having to move. Binding arbitration. It doesn't even go to court anymore

      Literally the first major uses of the civil rights amendments after the Civil War were for big business and corporate personhood.

      Oh no, victims of giant corporations might get a tiny advantage? This must be stopped at all costs!
