Oh horseshit.
Looks like progressive socialism is raising it’s ugly head. This court must be full of Liberals who want to run everybody’s life. Go ahead and grow your vegetables. Judges can’t make laws.

The court can go pound sand. Nobody will tell me what I can or can’t do on my own land.
p**s on that court…they will let em grow pot tho right?

They need to take this to the Supreme Court. If we have no say over our property then why do we spend money for and pay taxes on it?
