A California law that gives labor organizers permission to trespass on private property and disrupt business operations 120 days a year to recruit new members should be struck down as unconstitutional, farmers urged a seemingly receptive Supreme Court.

The case, Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid, court file 20-107, is an appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The telephonic oral arguments on March 22 lasted 69 minutes.
