Why Was John Mulaney at the Supreme Court?
Katyal is a super-lib lawyer who charges $3,250 an hour and he'll do anything for money. The photo is him hanging out at Burning Man.
He defended Nestlé at the Supreme Court. He argued corporations can use child slave labor because international law does not apply to them. His logic was that the company which supplied Zyklon B to the Nazis was not indicted at the Nuremberg trials.
In 2020, Katyal represented Nestlé and Cargill at the Supreme Court in Nestlé USA, Inc. v. Doe, a class-action suit brought by former enslaved children who were kidnapped and forced to work on cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast. Katyal's argument was that Nestlé and Cargill should not be held liable under United States law for their use of child slave labor because international law does not apply to corporations.
Katyal cited as an example that the company which supplied Zyklon B to the Nazis to kill Jews and other minorities in extermination camps was not indicted at the Nuremberg trials. Katyal was criticized by publications including The New Republic.
