USDA Suffers Major Legal Defeat - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Michael Doyle of McClatchy Newspapers reports on some very bad news for the overreaching regulators at the U.S. Department of Agriculture:

The Supreme Court on Monday provided legal juice for growers who want to sue the U.S. Agriculture Department and the California Table Grape Commission over grapevine patents.

In a decision noteworthy for farmers nationwide, the high court declined to review a lower court?s ruling that waived USDA?s customary immunity from lawsuits. The decision, issued without comment, effectively upholds the earlier appellate ruling and gives a green light for further legal battle over the ?Scarlet Royal? and ?Autumn King? grapevine variety patents....

?They deserve to be sued,? prominent Visalia, Calif.-area grape grower and nursery owner Luther J. Khachigian said Monday. ?They don?t belong in the nursery business . . . they?re interfering in a business they don?t know anything about.?
