A decision came out today in that SCOTUS case involving a 2009 California law, which was challenged by pork producers, that called for the removal of any and all “nonambulatory” pigs (and cows) from the food chain. The pork lobby argued that not all pigs who refuse to walk when they arrive at slaughterhouses are actually sick, and the justices ruled unanimously on the legal question of whether California had the right to add more rules to an already extant federal law. In short, the state does not. [AP, Earlier]
