No the court would decide that issue after the case is transferred to Federal District Court.
Court filings imply that Trump got Stormy Daniels pregnant and she had an abortion

Aardvark, that makes no sense. How can you claim they'd do arbitration and then argue whether the contract is valid?
Oagre makes way more sense.
If the contract is invalid, the arbitrator has no jurisdiction to sit on the issues under the contract. The court needs to decide the validity of the contract - and by extension, the arbitration clause - before the arbitrator can assume jurisdiction.
So there has to be a trial or at least a motion hearing on the validity issue before anything else. And add in that Daniels is now alleging duress (intimidation). This itself would invalidate the contract, subject to estoppel due to the fact that SD accepted the benefits of the contract she is now attacking. So there may be a hearing on the allegations of duress as well as formal invalidity.
Not all the judges on the Federal Court bench were appointed by Trump in the last year. It's easy enough to find a judge who predates the Trump administration.
It would be interesting if the court ruled on a motion finding that SD had indeed been subject to duress.
Ah, which is why this story likely came out in the Post today.

Daniel's lawyer seems to be playing this very well.
No, my learned friend is indeed a lawyer and quite a good one - at least when his GOP sympathies don't too much get the better of him.
TBH, that doesn't sound like anything close to duress to me. It just sounds like Cohen being an asshole douchebag, as usual.
He has the attributes of a lawyer when he posts: Distorting the facts by any means available, consistent ad hominem attacks, always in support of authority, etc etc. He is probably a lawyer.
Q.E.D.
Oagre who is a lawyer means: he is good at Distorting the facts by any means available, consistent ad hominem attacks, always in support of authority, etc etc.
It looks to me like your learned friend got his degree from Trump University. I’m sure he graduated with honours.
Well, we'll have to wait to see what Daniels really has prepped for the 60 Minutes interview.
I'm sure she wouldn't be going this route if she didn't have anything to back her story.
She seems to be pretty savvy.
Actually I am not. You and Aardvark need to do a Google search of the term “Corroborating Evidence”...It’s not that complicated.
PS: I notice you’ve stopped arguing that no one on the Trump team was indicted on anything Russia related since I pointed out that you were wrong about that too. Flynn and Papadopoulos both plead guilty to lying to the FBI about their contacts with Russians.
Now sit down and be quiet.
FWIW, Trump "University" had no degree granting powers and was never accredited, it solely ran real estate training programs, whatever the Hell that meant.
Flynn was about Turkish dealings.
Papadopoulos was an idiot. And neither has anything substantive.
Flynn was about lying to the FBI about his contact with the Russian Ambassador during the transition to get sanctions lifted.
Papadopoulos was about Lying to the FBI about contact with the Russians regarding getting dirt on Hillary...ie her hacked emails.
Many would view these findings as being quite substantive...but not you. We get it.
