Raisins case at Supreme Court tests government takings power
Washington column argues the Raisin Administrative Committee and a 1937 law enable a costly government market intervention. It frames the Hornes vs the RAC as a clash over whether compulsory raisin reserves are an unconstitutional expropriation or a regulatory measure. The piece questions public use, cites Kelo, and notes broader scope of marketing orders across multiple crops. It concludes that government action blends both a taking and an outdated law, with rising concern over transparency and price control impacts.
