questions, so hopefully here to answer this is supreme court expert and law professor at the university of texaseck. steve, so great to have you. is it clear to you who is going to enforce this ethics code? >> the only thing that's clear is that the justices are expecting that they will enforce of themselves. this of course raises the time old question, who watches the watchers? part of the issue from state development is we have these rules that at least looks somewhat reasonable on paper, but part of the issue with the prior behavior is rules that were not followed. how are we going to know going forward that these rules are being followed? what are the consequences going to be if and when just do not follow them? >> that is what is so murky about this. when you look at this on the first page, they talk about the recent questionable behavior from some of the justices. i think the question that i have is, if this code had been in place ten years ago, would we have known more about trips like the ones that justice clarence thomas took in advance, or when we still have to learn about that from re

seth is a distinguished professor at the university of texas at austin. didn't to come quite as far as rachel did to attend here today. and one thing that i'd like to say in terms his role as a history professor at ut, we just found out this week. i believe that his book won the grand prize for the distinguished hamilton award, which is both by the university texas. so these books are related. but what is amazing, the differences between their approach, reporting, the narrative style and certainly the subject is what we are talking about. seth warren, which has been harvested and growing for thousands years in brazil, in the amazon rainforest. rachel mdma, which first synthesized and received the patent 1912, i believe. so a little bit of the difference there but the notion of how does something synthetic manmade versus something natural in naturally occurring kind of influence our culture influence our behavior and bring this level of connectedness and. so i thought i would read just one quick thing from seth's book to start us off, because i feel like i
