California raisin case.... ?

Fresno raisin growers Marvin and Laura Horne are challenging a New Deal-era federal program that aims to prop up raisin prices by keeping some of the crop off the market.

When they came for my raisins I said nothing, but when they come for your peaches, then and only then will I stand up against them.

New Deal era federal program

Times change.

Why aren't expiration dates built in to all federal legislation, forcing congress to periodically review for need and applicability?
