The fact that Will can sell his car, but he can’t tell people his car is for sale in one of the most basic ways is not just silly, it’s unconstitutional. foxnews.com/media/retired-…

Dunedin, Florida code officers fined Jim Ficken $30,000 & threatened to foreclose on his home. The reason? His lawn got slightly too tall while he was out of town, and the friend who was supposed to mow it passed away. After 2 lawsuits, Jim is finally safe from foreclosure!

“It made no sense to me that I could park my truck on the street legally, but as soon as I put a for-sale sign in the window, it became illegal.” @nypost has the story on IJ's latest #FirstAmendment lawsuit: nypost.com/2024/04/18/us-…
“Americans have a First Amendment right to truthfully advertise things they are selling, and that includes putting a for-sale sign in their car window.” @IJ Attorney Bobbi Taylor. Parking laws should regulate parking, not speech. @nypost. nypost.com/2024/04/18/us-…

33 states have exempted hair braiders from occupational licensing requirements. Unfortunately, Louisiana is not one of them. That state requires braiders to spend 500 hours on unrelated classes. Today, the court will hear arguments in @IJ's case challenging these restrictions.
Claims that Texas won #DeVillierVTexas (a case concerning a Texas rancher whose land was flooded after the state raised a nearby highway) are false. In reality, after Texas spent untold amounts of time and taxpayer dollars trying to get Richie’s #5thAmendment claims dismissed,…

Victory! Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of @IJ client Richie Devillier. ij.org/press-release/…
“Lower courts had held that landowners like Richie were powerless to compel states like Texas to obey the Constitution. Today’s ruling makes clear that property owners have more power than Texas thought.” — @IJ Senior Attorney Robert McNamara ij.org/press-release/…
Common sense prevails. It’s baffling it even got to this point.
One of the most fundamental rules of constitutional law is also one of the most fundamental rules of Pottery Barn: If you break it, you buy it. This morning #SCOTUS unanimously ruled in favor of a Texas rancher whose land was flooded by the state. ij.org/press-release/…
@ArdvarkMaster @IJ The case is remanded to the lower courts to proceed.
Huge win for @IJ and property rights! It should go without saying, but when Texas "installed a roughly 3-foot-tall barrier along the highway median to act as a dam" and it floods your property, you should be able to pursue Takings Claims. Now, Richie finally gets that chance!
