Okay, how does this affect peanuts, corn, soy beans, etc?.........................
Horne was brought by a family of raisin farmers, who object to being required to participate in a government program that obligated them to set aside a portion of their crop and not sell it on the market, to keep crop prices up. The basic question before the Court was whether, in its efforts to manage supply and demand to raise the prices of raisins the government was “taking” the farmers’ property from them, triggering a constitutional duty to pay compensation.
Eight Justices today (everybody except Justice Sotomayor) held that the answer is “yes.” - See more at:

That is, until Executive Order 13603 gets invoked by the White Hut...
No it is a win for big raisin!/s
Is Sotomayor applying LAW or POLITICS to the formation of her decisions? If the latter, is that breaking the terms (oath) of service? Or then again, is she just ignorant of the law?
Praying for this trend to grow with the other big SCOTUS decisions this week ...
The bureaucrats are REALLY going to go after raisin farmers with a vengeance now.
Yes. My grandfather’s small farming enterprise got shut down in Mississippi. My mom told me that’s when he started drinking.
Good. The government shouldn’t be taking away from people without compensating them.
Is there a national emergency in which such a condition might be best for the nation? Personally, I think all-out-war should require sacrifices from all of the nation and not just from the troops in harm’s way.
But we were in no such national emergency, so there was no good reason to be stealing raisins.

Good. That’s Step One.
The trouble is, as I see it, that govt is involved in ag at so many different levels, it may be very difficult to see the results of this decision at the checkout counter.
The good done here, may worsen something over there, but alleviate that... I can feature a variety of better or worse outcomes for various participants.
AND, too, it remains to be seen what Boehner will do to gve the win back to Democrat ag policy; can’t let the table tip too far toward Freedom and Liberty, yaknow...
This is just poking at appendages. Go for the throat, and overturn Wickard v Filburn.
The only Scotus Justice who thought that government simply taking the private property of citizens without compensation was Sotomayor.
How UNSURPRISING...
The government should get out of it completely.
Amazes me that the liberal judges sided for outright theft here.
What does that mean?
Why do we need raisin price supports? Will there be a shortage in time of war?
