514 U.S. at 943, 115 S.Ct. 1920. The Supreme Court has left no doubt that whether the parties have submitted a particular dispute to arbitration (i.e., the question of arbitrability) is an issue for judicial determination unless they “clearly and unmistakably” provided otherwise in their agreement. Howsam v. Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., 537 U.S. 79, 82, 123 S.Ct. 588, 154 L.Ed.2d 491 (2002); Employers Ins. Co. of Wausau v. Century Indem. Co., 443 F.3d 573, 576 (7th Cir.2006); James & Jackson, LLC v. Willie Gary LLC, 906 A.2d 76, 80 (Del.2006). The Supreme Court put it this way in Howsam: Thus, a gateway dispute about whether the parties are bound by a given arbitration clause raises a “question of arbitra-bility” for a court to decide. See [First Options] id., at 943-946, 115 S.Ct. 1920 (<HOLDING>); John Wiley & Sons, Inc. v. Livingston, 376
