That name is not accurate, but the language was inserted into the Continuing Appropriations Omnibus bill passed last march. That label was put on it by detractors, but it essentially protects GM products from judicial cease and desist orders where suits are brought by anti GM groups after government approval. It simply keeps the courts from causing the poor guy who has already planted the stuff from having to burn it because of another unfounded claim with not specific evidence.

It's more to protect both the farmer as Monsanto's customer and the company from additional losses while they litigate yet another frivolous suit. It seems to me that conservatives would be against manipulating the legal system and filing frivolous suits.!!!!! But I guess not..........
