    Under Federal Arbitration Act § 2, an arbitration agreement "shall be valid, irrevocable, and enforceable, save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract." California law set forth certain circumstances in which "class action waivers" in any contract were unenforceable. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court held that the FAA preempts California law.
