Lorton Voted For Supreme Court Seat Amid Antitrust Debate
Tennessee jurist Horace Lorton, noted for opinions on trusts and worker protections, faces Senate scrutiny as a Supreme Court associate seat is debated. The controversy centers on his antitrust rulings including the Sherman Act, with critics arguing his record favors major trusts in pivotal cases like American Tobacco and Standard Oil. Supporters cite his willingness to enforce federal competition laws and aid the working class, while opponents warn of potential bias toward big corporations. The executive session is expected, with possible continuance, but no broad push to defeat the nomination is evident.
