"In it's first ruling ever on a case involving genetically engineered (GE) crops, Monsanto vs. Geertson Seed Farms, the U.S. Supreme Court has left a ban in effect against GE Alfalfa.
The Supreme Court declined to overrule a lower court's prohibition against planting and selling Roundup Ready* alfalfa. It agreed also that GE contamination was a sufficient cause of environmental and economic harm to support future challenges on GE crops.
Monsanto unsuccessfully had asked the court to allow planting and not allow contamination of other crops to be considered 'irreparable harm'."
