Justice Thomas, former general counsel to Monsanto before he joined the bench.
So he has a history with the organization.
But he has also repeatedly written that he is fundamentally against preemption in multiple cases.
It's a state's rights issue.
And he has written very scathing dissent saying it's unconstitutional, taking a very extreme position.
And so we're going to see where he falls on this, right?
This is a justice who, if he's loyal to his roots, his beliefs, and how the government should operate of the Constitution, he should rule actually in our favor.
But if he is pro-corporate and goes with the Monsanto, used to be his employer, then he'd have to really undo everything that he stood behind.
So I'm really curious to see how Justice Thomas falls on this issue.
That's correct.
OK, there's two answers to that.
The first answer is the Supreme Court is politically isolated.
They don't make political decisions.
They just rule on the law.
They have their beliefs and their systems.
And and I think there's a lot of truth to that.
I will say though that the confidence in the United States Supreme Court today is lower than it's ever been in history.
No, I think that's true.
But I think I think historically what I mean by respect, I mean, I don't mean we like the decisions, right?
Like that's going to split along party lines or ideologies all day.
