Justice Clarence Thomas

Why are you selecting only Dems to put on this list? You seem to be avoiding the number of Republicans who qualify - some more than these Dems - for inclusion in this diagram.John Bachmann was the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce under Bush, which was a heavy donor to the GOP and he is also a board member of Monsanto;Donald Rumsfeld (R) (no need to say who this guy is) - board member of Monsanto, CEO of Searle which was sold to Monsanto earning him 12 million ( link The biggest omission from your list:- Supreme Court Justice appointed by BushJustice Clarence Thomas worked as an attorney for Monsanto in the 1970s. Thomas wrote the majority opinion in the 2001 Supreme Court decision J. E. M. Ag Supply, Inc. v. Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc.|J. E. M. AG SUPPLY, INC. V. PIONEER HI-BREDINTERNATIONAL, INC.[115] which found that "newly developed plant breeds are patentable under the general utility patent laws of the United States." This case benefitted all companies which profit from genetically modified crops, of which Monsanto is the largest.Thomas has also ruled in FAVOR of Monsanto, in a case he clearly should have recused himself from.I think omitting Judge Clarence Thomas and Donald Rumsfield alone shows a heavy partisan motivation behind this post. An ACCURATE diagram would show the Republican connections as well.
