1Opinion of the Court
GORSUCH, Circuit Judge.
Everyone knows the Federal Arbitration Act favors arbitration. But before the Act’s heavy hand in favor, of arbitration swings into play, the parties themselves must agree to have their disputes arbitrated. While Congress has chosen to preempt state laws that aim to channel disputes into litigation rather than arbitration, even under the FAA it remains a “fundamental principle” that “arbitration is a matter of contract,” not something to be foisted on the parties at all costs.
