Another 9-0!
I really hope this is a trend.
This is but one absurdity that Marvin and his wife Laura have faced during their decade-long legal battle with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
If their battle started in 2003, I don't think we can blame the policy on Obama.
I couldn’t understand why raisins had gotten so expensive lately. Now I do.
And yet liberals want MORE government.
This reminds of the Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places where the OJ futures were decided by few men
The article is from a year ago.
"Luckily"???
In a free country, justice is not a matter of "luck".
The quote from the article cuts off at a point that leads to a misleading conclusion. SCOTUS ruled 9-0, but not on the validity of the marketing order. Rather, the Court ruled that the farmers can challenge the USDA’s proposed fine in federal district court, and do not have to first pay the fine and then challenge it in the Court of Claims. The validity of the program is still being litigated.
We need to rid ourselves of all Roosevelt’s communism
This was going on long before Obama came into office.
This is part of the same socialist FDR set of controls put on just about everything during the depression. They dumped milk, killed and buried livestock, burned grain and destroyed produce to suit the price and supply controls the progressive economists and sometimes non-economists thought would fit their ideas of fairness. Non-compliance meant jail time for the producers and possible confiscation of the farm. FDR and his minions did more to deepen the depression than anybody imagines.
They won 9-0
What happens if the USDA decides to ignore SCOTUS?
What’s troubling about all of this is that there should be MANY OTHER decisions that came in 5-4 that should have also been 9-0.
Obamacare comes to mind.
‘Constitutional lawyer/expert’, my ass...
I worked in a Del Monte peach cannery in California while going to college. We had FDA “inspectors” in-house monitoring what was called “diversion.” They made sure that we threw away a certain percentage of the fruit going through the plant, literally tons of perfectly good peaches. They oversaw the weighing, logging of the weights and the disposal. The rationale was that by so doing, we kept the price of peaches “high.”
BTW, the cannery is long gone, replaced by the PIXAR Studios. Workforce was mostly Black. Guess their progeny are all on welfare now.
Agri-Nazis telling business owners what they can/cannot do. Have these govt agencies suddenly gone moonbatsh#t crazy or has it always been this bad? It seems worse lately, and I think the O regime has made them bolder than ever.
