National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, 598 U.S. 356 (2023), was a United States Supreme Court case related to the Dormant Commerce Clause.

In 2018, California's voters approved Proposition 12, which seeks to better the treatment of pigs kept for livestock by barring the sale of pork produced in conditions that are common in the industry today.

[1] Gorsuch addressed the ruling in Pike v. Bruce Church, Inc., agreeing with the judgment but stating that its standard of prohibiting "clearly excessive" effects on interstate commerce was too vague.

Three of the five majority Justices (Gorsuch, Thomas, and Barrett) upheld Proposition 12 because they believe that the burdens and benefits at issue in the case were not capable of being balanced by a court.

A separate but overlapping group of four of the five majority Justices (Gorsuch, Thomas, Sotomayor and Kagan) believed that petitioners had failed to plausibly allege a burden on interstate commerce in the first place.

Analyst Ian Millhiser wrote that the case was a rare instance of the Court reducing the judiciary's ability to block state laws.
