The current supreme court is very unlikely to rule for an individual against a large company.

I wonder if the fact that lost of companies would like to stick lots of weird rules in their licenses could help here. Where’s John Deere in the pantheon of companies? They can’t be more powerful than the Googles and Faces Book of the world, right?


John Deere is the 84th largest company on the Fortune 500. It may be below Google or Facebook, but it's still a major player.


I think they have confuse pro-government with pro-business.

The Supreme court since FDR has been very resistant to role back the role of federal government, they have no problems smacking down state laws, but when it comes to rolling back federal laws or regulations well....

So here it would be determinative on which "side" the federal government chooses, or if the federal government stays silent which silence IMO is probably the most likely outcome for the federal government.

If they stay out of the fight, I think Deere Loses. If the federal government defends Deere then I think it is more 50/50
