NE Colorado | Yes, he should recuse himself but never has in such cases.
It was the Supreme Court, legislating from the bench, that took away farmers' right to save seeds by allowing patents on seeds. Congress never intended for there to be utility patents on seeds, that's why they created the Plant Variety Protection Act in the first place. While it prohibits farmers from selling PVPA protected seeds to other farmers, it lets them save seed for their own use.
Congress should have been the one through legislation to deal with our right to save seed, not Clarence Thomas who likely wouldn't even be on the court if not for Monsanto.
