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.)

The decision is an interesting read.

"Sotomeyer dissented"

Thanks....That should be an interesting read of a convoluted pretzel....

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.

Any count for the farmers is good

“Supreme Court rules on side of dissident California raisin growers”

I see that we have yet another genius ‘journalist’.

Raisin grower, Mr. Doyle? They are dried grapes, dumb-ox!

[ctdonath2]

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.

[lastchance]

Good.

Sotomeyer dissented

Obviously thought it was a racist attack on these guys.

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.
