"Unlikely Foes Clash At Supreme Court Over Roundup Cancer Risk" [1]

"Trump and MAHA are divided, and red and blue states are aligned in a legal brawl that positions big business against state powers."

"The Supreme Court next week will consider a case that has united red and blue states and pitted the Trump administration against itself.

On Monday, the justices will hear arguments over whether a state court rightfully awarded a $1.25 million verdict to a Missouri man who said the maker of the popular Roundup weedkiller failed to caution users about the product’s cancer risk — even as federal environmental regulators have repeatedly concluded that a warning is not required.

And while the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority has shown an appetite for protecting big business, many of those justices have also demonstrated a desire to safeguard state power."
