One of the justices, Stephen G. Breyer, declined to rule on the case because his brother, a U.S. district judge, had issued two of the original rulings that barred California cannabis buyers cooperatives from distributing marijuana. These rulings started the chain of events that brought the case to the Supreme Court.

In his recent book. Breaking the Vicious Circle Toward Effective Risk Regulation, Hon. Stephen Breyer points out that the risk associated with asbestos in schools is one in eleven million and that each year 2,200,000 Americans die of all causes.
