To win in court, the farmers will have to convince SCOTUS to overturn Wickard v. Filburn. Although I don't believe a Fifth Amendment "takings" argument against that precedent has ever been adjudicated by SCOTUS, for them to accept that line of attack against Wickard would result in revolutionary change.

I can't believe the Justices don't know this. That's why their ruling mandating that the Ninth Circuit hear the case is fascinating.

The farmers say the program unfairly prevents them from selling their entire crop when the government determines that there otherwise would be a glut of raisins that would drive prices down.

Too many raisins? Make hooch.
