  4. I'm not cynical in least, but why would u think that a Supreme Ct that made Citizens United decision would do right thing in Monsanto case?
  5. As usual, the Roberts Court does not shy away from complicated intellectual property issues. This case turns on... fb.me/1zbrmaqTl
  6. RT @r343l: Quick note on some omissions in articles about the #Monsanto vs Bowman case that bug me. bit.ly/WWNhhk #GMO
  7. RT @EDarier: I am wondering if weeds tolerant to the herbicide Roundup will have to pay royalties to Monsanto?... bit.ly/12N4oFO
  8. @delrayser I haven't followed this but can I assume it's another Monsanto case in which Thomas did not recuse himself?
  9. Everyone bitches about Monsanto, but its not they who brought us the plu-ot, the gr-apple or the abomination that is the broccoflower.
  10. Will the Roberts Court make a narrow decision based on facts of the case or deal substantively with ambiguous issues? ow.ly/hT9Oh
  11. Morally fraught Supreme Court ruling. Upholds rule of law, but should building blocks of life be patented? nyti.ms/Y7E6Iz
  12. Facebook Commentary: A "'Greenie' Attack"?
  13. Sounds like a good deal to me. I think the whole uproar against GMO seeds and crops is a liberal "greenie" attack against a successful corporation -- Monsanto. Tempest in a teapot.
