Supreme Court Upholds California's Pig Confinement Law.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a California law banning the sale of pork from pigs kept in confined spaces, rejecting a challenge by the National Pork Producers Council and the American Farm Bureau Federation. The industry argued that the law violated the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution by forcing farmers in other states to change their practices to sell pork in California. The court voted 5-4 to uphold the lower court's dismissal of the lawsuit, with conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch writing the main opinion. The law mandates pig confinement spaces large enough to enable the animals to turn around, lie down, stand up and extend their limbs.
