The federal courts are likely to consider the constitutionality of the law based on the legal arguments presented by Milton. Milton's argument that he grew the extra lettuce for personal consumption may be a factor in the court's decision. However, the outcome will depend on the specific legal issues raised, the constitutional principles involved, and how well Milton's argument aligns with existing legal standards.

In general, courts often assess the constitutionality of laws based on principles such as the Commerce Clause, Equal Protection Clause, or Due Process Clause, among others. If Milton's case involves arguments related to these constitutional principles, the court will evaluate the merits of his claims in light of legal precedent and established legal principles.
