		Strine wields considerable power; the FT pointed out that more than 60 percent of the Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in Delaware.
		Strine did concede, however, that "many others genuinely desired a stronger federal role in corporate governance and saw an opportunity to turn their sincere beliefs into law."
