Without water for their crops, farmers will have no use for the pesticides they’ve stockpiled. I wonder where they’ll dispose of them?

We should turn off the water at the court justices mansions. See how they like it.

Judicial elites strike a blow for minnow-Americans!
Environmentalists in Malibu cheer.
But don’t fear, farmers- while you will certainly lose your farms the justices will be just fine.
So there is nothing for you to worry about.

I’m sure the government will be there to collect that land. Offering pennies on the dollar because it just dry and unusable land now.
Land grab.

Or maybe the justices have some relatives who would like a rural retreat. After which the water will flow.

Problems Here.
The SCOTUS can intervene only when there is a dispute between states, or when a LAW passed by Congress is clearly Unconstitutional. Federal Agencies EPA etc, act under the purview of the Congress that funds them; SCOTUS can’t tell them to cease and desist, only Congress can do that.
This is why I didn’t see why everyone was so surprised by Robert’s ruling on Obamacare. The SCOTUS does not exist to protect us from BAD laws, it only exists to enforce the Constitution in cases that are brought before it; in whatever manner.

“The SCOTUS does not exist to protect us from BAD laws, it only exists to enforce the Constitution in cases that are brought before it; in whatever manner.”
If you have not figured out that SCOTUS has been making up the constitution as it goes along for the last 80 years (e.g. Wickard 1942, KELO 2005 etc.), why are you here?

It’s not judicial activism if it’s in your favor!

"This is why I didnt see why everyone was so surprised by Roberts ruling on Obamacare."
Many saw Roberts as a Justice who *interprets* the Constitution through the letter and Spirit of the original meaning along with traditional essence of natural laws in which the Charter was based on.
Taxing or fining (Directly/excise, etc...) based on doing nothing is a perverted concept and is not enumerated anywhere in the Constitution.
Also you contradicted yourself. What is the *fundamental* difference between a "Bad Law" and an unconstitutional law?

Land grab. Correct, with the big developers buying along the "high speed rail" corridor, ready to build their insta-cities. There is more land than they need for that, so best (for them) to get it off the tax rolls. Hell, the taxpayers are already building a UC campus to go with it.

You may not like what was done to Kelo, but the case was correctly. The result was that a good many States passed laws increasing protections for property owners, some to include regulatory and fractional takings. All will now get to witness the results of the differences in protection for private property among the States, which is how Federalism was supposed to work. So the actual result in total was not all bad.

The court rules on the law
The congress must judge the relative merits of farmers and food or a minnow.
People or bait........ the congress must decide and prevail

And we are supposed to “rely” on SCOTUS to “protect us” from the Obola administration’s illegal position on illegal aliens?
