Why should you care? A rare victory for folks loosing property to the Feds without compensation.
Too late for Kelo, but you gotta start somewhere...
"You may have heard it through the grapevine: the California raisin farmers who challenged the federal government’s power to seize a substantial portion of each year’s crop as part of a New Deal price-floor scheme had a very strong case (http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/04/23/scotusblog-cal-raisin-farmers-had-a-good-day-at-the-u-s-supreme-court/) under the Fifth Amendment’s takings clause. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed, overturning the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Horne v. USDA (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-275_c0n2.pdf), ruling the farmers could not be fined for keeping their crop, and that they were due fair compensation."
