United on eight justices who did endorse the disclosure current requirements. Only Justice Thomas dissented in that decision. I know it doesnt look very hopeful i think that congress is the way theyre on a deeing regulation trend until the Supreme Court. What can change normal terms of obama or anyone else couldnt even get through nominations for regular courts though Supreme Court. The president ial elections do matter. Hi, im jim. My question deals with roberts vote on the health care issue. Do you think he was motivated by the fear that the court began to look like a political entity rather than a jurisprudence entity . Youre welcome to speak to this too. Its probably one of the most common questions we get, isnt it . Yeah. Do i think so . No. I take him at the word.
