indeed yes but each of cases where there has been division such as the decker case from about 10 days ago each of these cases is a $54.00 decision they are depending on the position adopted by the chief justice himself regarded as a conservative but he has made very clear that he is going to be following precedent on these matters now the precedent has been established by courts that were not as right wing if one could put it as this one let's take this louisiana case for example as i mentioned there was a texas case 4 years ago that ruled on this basically there was no necessity for this case to come again before the court but it came before the court because brett kavanaugh one of those newly appointed trump judges insisted that the court would have to cure the same matter again now this is an indication what you're going to be seeing in the supreme court is a string of poor decisions as long as the chief justice continues to put his hand on that scale of justice in the favor of the less conservative members of the court that may not happen on every single occasion certainly it is s

so stanley black and decker, one of my favorites at this moment right now. two important themes it's a stay at home stock. also a reopen stock. it's a stay at home stock because 70% of total revenues come from tools and storage and we know they'll benefit from the diy trend. 35% of their business is home depot and lowe's so that's a theme i like the it's also a reopen stock because they sell products to really beaten down industries, energy, manufacturing and auto so i think as the economy recovers, these end markets will recover for them they have excellent product innovation digital is everywhere. i think that's going to lead the market share gains when we come back and i think they'll be able to see a normalized organic plus they have comparisons coming up. they had a restructuring announcement in april. they expect to see a billion in cost saves so that should help as well. trades up 16 types earnings. next year's are going to thrgro2 to 30% >> up about 3% today we've got 11 and a half minutes and we're now in the closing bell market zone commercial free
