Odds don’t favor the Supreme Court taking up this week’s appeal of California’s Proposition 12 by American Farm Bureau and the National Pork Producers Council.
Minnesota Pork CEO David Preisler tells Brownfield there are usually about 5,000 cases applied to the High Court each year.
“And there’s somewhere around 100 of them that are heard every year, so it’s certainly no guarantee that it actually gets to be heard. We do think that there are some important legal issues here that need to be settled by the court regarding what’s called a Commerce Clause.”
He says cases involving that clause go back more than a century.
