Pathetic we had to have the SCOTUS decide this.

Such a free country we are and all.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the only dissenter. She said the program did not deprive the Hornes of all their property rights; it just limited the amount of potential income they could earn from it.

Whaaaaaaaaaat????

Really? The Supremes actually know what’s in the constitution? Wouldn’t have known it by some of their previous rulings.

This Government Scheme (stealing raisins) by the DoA (also of Bundy Ranch Fame) sounds much like this one:

"The general scheme of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as related to wheat is to control the volume moving in interstate and foreign commerce in order to avoid surpluses and shortages and the consequent abnormally low or high wheat prices and obstructions to commerce. [n5] Within prescribed limits and by prescribed standards, the Secretary of Agriculture is directed to ascertain and proclaim each year a national acreage allotment for the next crop of wheat, which is then apportioned to the states and their counties, and is eventually broken up into allotments for individual farms. [n6] Loans and payments to wheat farmers are authorized in stated circumstances. [n7] "

Maybe there is hope to overturn Wickard v. Filburn

Yea! But this has been going on since the 30’s. Are there any plans to pay back the farmers who sacrificed their crops?

“The justice said Monday that forcing raisin growers to give up part of their annual crop without full payment is an illegal confiscation of private property.”

Regulations.

“Writing for the court, Chief Justice John Roberts said the government must pay “just compensation” when it takes personal goods just as when it takes land away.”

Oh great, Roberts just created a new subsidy. I guess
he thought he was getting rid of a bad law.

“Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the only dissenter. She said the program did not deprive the Hornes of all their property rights; it just limited the amount of potential income they could earn from it.”

HaaHaaaaa(Billroy)haaaaaaaaa. “of all their property rights”

PfffhoohahahahHaaaaaaa

“it just limited the amount of potential income they could earn from it.”

This woman is an idiot. Naa it won’t violate all of your
body if I just cut your arms off. She is way too incompetent
for .......anything. Even assistant crack whore.

It was a blatant violation of the 4th and 5th Amendments. Too bad this had to go all the way to the Supreme Court.

The supreme court should strike down every single law on the books pertaining to what farmers can grow, where, and the quantity.

Congress should also rescind whatever law they passed in which they decided burning food as fuel was a good idea. That needs to go too.

The best quote is from Clarence Thomas' concurring opinion:
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.

Raisins...fruitless exercise...LOL!
