I respectfully dissent. The main opinion continues the now apparently inexorable evisceration of the "substantial-effect-on-interstate-commerce" test, see, e.g., my dissent in Potts v. Baptist Health System, Inc., 853 So.2d 194 (Ala. 2002), and thereby gratuitously extends the reach of the Federal Arbitration Act further than ever before, in ever worse derogation of the public policy of Alabama, see Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Society v. Harris,740 So.2d 362, 366 (Ala. 1999).
