Supreme Court rules on side of dissident California raisin growers
The Tribune ^ | 06/22/2015 | Michael Doyle

The Supreme Court has undercut a long-running raisin supply management program, ruling Monday that the federal government must pay for raisins kept out of the marketplace.

In a marked victory for Fresno County grower Marvin Horne and other dissident California raisin producers, the divided court said the program that compels some raisins to be held back in a reserve is subject to the just compensation commands of the Fifth Amendment.

Raisin handlers set aside 47 percent of their crop during the 2002-03 season and 30 percent for 2003-04, but they were paid for only part of what they surrendered.

“Maybe it is simply because she is an idiot.”

That is the overarching reason, no doubt. But hey, we have an illegal alien president so it follows that we should have one on the SCOTUS too, right?

Well, maybe Mr. Doyle is thinking ‘trans-raisins’! LOL

The Wise-Ass Latina is really just another collectivist plant to destroy our constitutional rights.

The ruling should have been an easy 9-0.

Yeah, I have a deep-seated hatred for the three “women” on the SCOTUS, but I pray every day that Ruthie hangs on for at least another year so we have a fighting chance to replace her with someone who’s not a Marxist.

I'll be shocked if she doesn't resign during the interregnum, if a Republican is elected president.

Yes, and the only fear we should have is that McConnell would help Obola appoint a replacement.

Spreading the wealth is what Dems do best. Though usually it belongs to other people.

See #16. The 8 were reversing the SCOTUS trend in ‘takings’; the 1 was just following Kelo et al to their logical (albeit plainly wrong) conclusions.

The real wise-ass was Clarence Thomas, who filed a 1-page opinion just to make a pun.

Meanwhile, here’s a good Supreme Court ruling, nullifying some of the marxist legacy of F**khead Delano Blowsevelt. Libs are crying over this one.
