An underrated aspect of SCOTUS watching: the latest opinions could always include Justice Gorsuch writing for the court while remarking favorably—and with curious familiarly—upon the use of a “mild gummy as a sleep aid a few times a week.”

@jadler1969 More than 70% of Americans fail a basic civic literacy quiz on topics like the three branches of government.

@CaseyMattox_ We will give you privacy in this difficult time. 🙏

Back in January, @AmericanDreamLg won an important victory in this case. We have now filed our appellate brief seeking the next step.

[American Dream Legal @AmericanDreamLg]

In January, a federal court struck down Mississippi’s 45-year ban on new home health providers.

We have now filed our appellate brief seeking to invalidate the remaining CON restrictions, which allow existing providers to keep new competitors fenced out.

[American Dream Legal @AmericanDreamLg]

On the latest @EmpowerMS podcast, our Founder & CEO @AaronRRice discusses the experiences that shaped American Dream Legal and why constitutional limits on government matter for Mississippians seeking opportunity.

We’re grateful for the chance to share more about our mission.

[Aaron Rice @AaronRRice]

I appreciated the chance to join @grantcallen on the @EmpowerMS Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation.

We covered 9/11, Iraq, recovery, and the path that led me to start @AmericanDreamLegal — but more importantly, we discussed the constitutional principles that shape the work I’m doing today.

Mississippi has enormous potential. That potential depends on clear limits on government power, protection of economic liberty, and the freedom for people to pursue opportunity without unlawful barriers.

If those issues interest you, I hope you’ll give it a listen.

Friendly reminder that telling fairy tales to a judge is “sanctionable conduct” if you do it. When the government does it, it’s just called “constitutional litigation.”

@alldspeed It’s even crazier that, if sued, the State would herald this market failure as a “success” for its (utterly fictional) goal of promoting “temperance.”

@alldspeed This one. A stay was entered off the bat from the government shutdown but lifted in December.

Litigating against the government, in a nutshell:

Me: "Class counsel is an experienced litigator well-versed in this case and the legal issues implicated by it."

DOJ: "Denied."

[Aaron Rice @AaronRRice]

I’ve had opposing counsel argue that non-disruptive speech on public sidewalks *outside* an abortion clinic violates the FACE Act. I’m no fan of the Act, but it needs to either be enforced evenhandedly or repealed. Its enthusiasts need to pick one.

[Casey Mattox @CaseyMattox_]

I believe the FACE Act exceeded Congress's powers 30 years ago and today.

I also believe that the prosecution of Don Lemon under it is an uphill fight - but a plausible one based on public info.

And I believe it's not good for the rule of law if prosecutors selectively enforce the law depending on whether they want to protect churches or abortion clinics. Politically motivated selective non-enforcement poses the same rule of law problem as politically motivated selective enforcement.

[Secretary Michael Watson @MichaelWatsonMS]

Thank you, @AaronRRice, for the fantastic work you are doing to help Mississippians #TackleTheTape! For those who don’t know, this isn’t his first victory in this arena. He’s a consistent, conservator fighter!

On Wednesday, a federal court struck down Mississippi’s decades-old, outright ban on new home health providers—a ban the judge rightly called “absurd.”

That ruling exists because Butch Slaughter had the courage to take on the government and powerful, special interests when the easier path would have been to walk away. For 45 years, the law made it a crime for new providers to offer medical care in patients’ homes—not because the care was unsafe, but because competition was politically inconvenient.

This was a hard case to win. Cases like this are notoriously difficult—especially when the plaintiff is challenging a long-standing healthcare regulation. And while the ruling does not yet dismantle Mississippi’s entire Certificate of Need system, it does something important and rare: it enforces the Constitution where it matters, in the real lives of patients and entrepreneurs.

The impact is real. This decision opens the door for new providers to serve patients who want care at home. It gives entrepreneurs a fighting chance. And it sends a clear message that protectionism dressed up as “regulation” is not beyond constitutional limits. That’s how the rule of law is supposed to work: protecting real people, and placing meaningful limits on government power when it goes too far.

I’m proud of Butch—for his perseverance, his patience, and his willingness to stand up when the odds were long. And I’m proud of the work @AmericanDreamLg is doing to make sure everyday Mississippians aren’t cut off from the American Dream by laws designed to protect insiders.

This victory matters. And it’s also a reminder that there is still more work to do.

@AaronRRice @malcolm_john @jekkakline @cullystimson @HvonSpakovsky You are right. We need a name for it.
