2. Completely expected result, upholding Obama judges decision.

It's easy to knee jerk react to every decision as somehow the result of Thomas being bribed. But the background on this case undercuts that argument. It would only take four justices agreeing to hear the case to grant cert. Not only were there not four such votes, none of the Democrats on the Court noted that they would grant the petition. Moreover, the decision below was a unanimous ruling by a three court panel made up of a GHWBush appointed judge and two Obama appointed judges. And before that, there was another three judge panel, all Obama appointees, that ruled in favor of the tariffs.
