I saw a lawyer comment yesterday that there's nothing in the Defense Production Act that authorizes the President to do this. The law allows him to compel a producer of a good to sell that good at a set price to the federal government and to prioritize government orders over any other. The other side, is that to test that in court the state or the company would have to sue. And let's be real about the odds of that happening. How about we try the other thing that we could try which is to stop subsidizing the fuck out of meat?
