Holding: The “wholly groundless” exception to the general rule that courts must enforce contracts that delegate threshold arbitrability questions to an arbitrator, not a court, is inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and Supreme Court precedent.
Judgment: Vacated and remanded, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Kavanaugh on January 9, 2019.
