Theoretically speaking, if the raisin farmers, under some new sort of raisin-seizing scheme, are shown to be justly compensated and to actually benefit, will that be allowed?

Good question. The real answer is that it depends on the courts, in the future, so it's silly to guess. Having said that, my guess is that precedent from this case would require voluntary compensation up front, not just theories about compensation.

If "theoretically compensation" has been a valid form of compensating seized property in the past, I'm surprised this hasn't come under fire yet.
