A hog rests in a holding pen on the Ron Mardesen farm, Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021, near Elliott, Iowa.

Professor Glenn Smith, who teaches constitutional law at California Western School of Law, joined Midday Edition on Monday to preview the case. The conversation below has been lightly edited for clarity. The Prop. 12 law also prohibits the sale of things like eggs when chickens are not treated well on factory farms. Is that right?Yes, that's true ... the bringing the lawsuit all throughout the levels of court and up to the Supreme Court is the National Pork Producers Council. So, the focus at the oral argument tomorrow, and in this case, is really going to be on the impact of the pork related restrictions on the industry and on animal welfare and human health.
