The court didn't make a verdict, they agreed to hear the case. The lower court sided with letting the opiote company getting away.

This is a really important point people seem to be missing. SCOTUS has only temporarily blocked the deal until they hear arguments in the case. Given what we now know about some of the justices, I wouldn't hold my breath that rich people will be held accountable.

Given what we now know about some of the justices…

Given what we know about the justices, I predict a couple of fabulous vacations in their near future.
