The court is still very political. I can't even begin to talk about Monsanto--they are horrid. I remember having a botany professor at Sonoma State university who would literally shake when everever he started to talk about how evil Monsanto is--that was years ago.

My point is Not that the court has flaws. It does--that's why the appointment of Supreme Court Justices is so dam important. Enen then, I've noticed justices change their views through out the years--so I'm glad they are there for life. Would I like to see Ph.D's in only the hard sciences a basic minimum as a requirement in order to be Supreme Court justices--Yes!
