The Supreme Court recently voted 7-to-1 on Monsanto v. Geertson Seed Farms, noting that a district court judge in San Francisco had abused his discretion in barring the U.S. Agriculture Department from instituting a partial deregulation and in prohibiting the planting of biotech alfalfa seeds, pending the completion of an environmental review.
In the meantime, the USDA could allow a partial deregulation according to the Supreme Court.
