A new petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court poses an interesting question: Can the feds set up a Constitution-violating racist program, hand out money under it, and then when a lawsuit challenges it, drop the program and say the case is over?
That's the substance of a fight that has developed because of Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan Act that designated $4 billion to forgive loans to farmers, but excluded white farmers.
The scheme, in fact, was set up to cancel loans for non-white farmers, plus give them a cash-back bonus of 20% more than they borrowed.
Actually, about $1 million was handed out under the program before Congress replaced the racist program with a "similar plan that does not mention race," according to a report from the Washington Examiner.
A farmer who was discriminated against by the original program brought the fight to court, and the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in the leftist enclave in Colorado, found the case was moot because the program was dead.
The Wyoming farmer on whose behalf the case originated, Leisl Carpenter, farms in Wyoming's Big Laramie Valley, suffered during the pandemic and should have been eligible for help, except for race, the case charges.
Now the Supreme Court has been asked to intervene.

The White Anti-White Left hate Whites ,LOL
“Kill the Boer”
That is planned in the next phase.
pretty close to student loan MO.
Ever since Emperor Barry was selected as the supreme ruler of America, race relations have deteriorated and reverse discrimination has become the norm, sadly.
They’re working on it by importing those who hate whites.
Didn’t OBAMA do the same? I remember millions being given to black “farmers” who only had a garden or a flower bed.
It was out there prior to Barry, but it certainly accellerated.
“”Didn’t OBAMA do the same? I remember millions being given to black “farmers” who only had a garden or a flower bed.””
There was the scandal during that administration with Vilsack as Agriculture (?) Secretary, and he’s back again in the same position in the Biden administration.
Check out Shirley Sherrod on Wikipedia...this was a huge story at the time and yes, we were told about people claiming to be farmers and APPROVED to receive $$$ if they had potted plants on their porches - IF they had porches, that is!
Probably the only time a president has done what he promised to do if elected...He kept his word and look where we are now...
Just guessing here that if someone was discriminated against by the policy, that they have standing to sue even if the Administration cancels the program.
Why isn’t this a civil rights case?
Sounds like the Pigford settlement. A true Obama era slab of racist pork.
