Amazing how the article hides what was happening. The government was confiscating up to 47 of the product from the farmer, for their own good of course /sarc/. Sotomeyer dissented.

The issue was cut and dried. (Or at least dried.)

Government immorally creating shortages to drive up the price was institutionalized by FDR.My mother remembers pigs being shot and the carcasses buried on the farm in the 1930s-while people were going hungry in the U.S.
There has to be a special place in Hell for those who deliberately ruin food.

“Sotomeyer dissented”
Yeah, it figures, because the “wise latrina” was probably a grape picker in her earlier years and hates farmers as a consequence.

Exactly.
To waste something like this is criminal.

I see that we have yet another genius ‘journalist’.
Raisin grower, Mr. Doyle? They are dried grapes, dumb-ox!

You are spot on, my Daddy and Uncles talked about milk cows being shot in the same way.

Judge Thomas has a sense of humor:
To the extent that the Committee is not taking the raisins for public use, having the Court of Appeals calculate just compensation in this case would be a fruitless exercise.
Methinks he submitted a concurring opinion just to use the pun.

I read Sotomeyer’s dissent.
She basically observes that numerous related cases upheld “takings” by observing that the owner was not _completely_ deprived of property or use thereof. Her reasoning is that there isn’t a bright line differentiating this one from the others, so the only conclusion is all-or-nothing: since not all the raisins were taken (about 50%) and the actual land was not otherwise commandeered for use depriving the owners from benefitting from it (hey, they even got paid for a lot of the confiscated raisins), then it matches assorted other upheld takings; if we’re going to strike this one down, then we have to state & explain where the dividing line is, which the Court didn’t do.
I disagree with her conclusion, but can respect how she got to it (insofar it’s taking other rulings to their logical conclusions, and thus painting the Court into a corner).

Do you think I'd need just one raisin tree or will I have to buy a male and female? Do they grow from seeds or do they need grafting?
My spaghetti tree is doing great!
