To employ "compelling force" is, in my opinion, immoral. It is covetousness for control of other people's property without compensation.
2. No relief for the farmers being deliberately abused by our corrupt courts.
Prop 37 will inflict its own kind of legal abuse that IMO is far worse, akin to forcing farmers to do the kind of documentation that is making medical care so expensive. THAT is what will make the stuff produced abroad competitive by comparison.
The correct place to fix that problem is with Federal Statute putting responsibility for the production of airborne pollen on the grower, where the producer of the pollen is responsible for containing and/or controlling genetically modified DNA as if it were an industrial pollutant. After all, once they put medical properties into corn, one wouldn't want to be dosed by driving adjacent to the field!!! Again, were responsibility correctly affixed upon the producer of the pollen, those immediately downwind could waive a claim in return for payment for buffer mitigation services (as I proposed in Natural Process).
As to the Monsanto lawsuits, as far as I know, patent law is a Federal jurisdiction that California law cannot remedy.

Nonsequitur! (wondering what you’re smoking)
2. “Prop 37 will inflict its own kind of legal abuse that IMO is far worse, akin to forcing farmers to do the kind of documentation that is making medical care so expensive.”
More nonsense!
No record keeping needed; prop 37 places the mandate for control of downwind damage where it belongs.
Federal statutes are what have allowed this problen to prevail unchecked. WE need the feds to keep their noses out.

This is really not a patent law problem; the adjacent land owners are taking no action that violates Monsanto’s patents; Monsanto’s garbage is invading and destroying adjacent land, and at some point all the arable land in the state will become useless under present conditions, much like what is happening in Canada with ‘Canola.’
Prop 37 has the perfect solution in correctly placing the responsibility with the person that induced the problem. This nips the false ‘patent’ issue in the bud.
