Do you have the right to start a business? The Supreme Court could decide.
In @USATODAY, I talk abt Ursula Newell-Davis’s multi-year battle to start a care business for special needs kids & the 150 yr old Supreme Court case that stands in her way https://t.co/Sv8A11E0eD
Today in SFFA v. Harvard, the Supreme Court affirmed the fundamental principle that individuals are more than their skin color or other immutable characteristics. We are individuals—whom the government must treat as individuals—rather than mere products of a racial group.
The Court has made a nearly 50 year exception to that principle for college admissions. While well-intentioned, the consequence was that some public colleges instituted thinly veiled racial quotas based on racial stereotypes. C.J. Justice Roberts' opinion makes clear there is no such thing as benign discrimination and the "guarantee of equal protection cannot mean one thing when applied to one individual and something else when applied to a person of another color."
Our country hasn’t always fulfilled its promise of liberty and equality for all, but today’s opinion goes a long way towards ensuring those enduring principles won’t be subverted further. Even on college campuses the government must abide by the Fourteenth Amendment, which recognizes strong protections for civil rights and equal protection of the laws as part and parcel to the American dream.
A couple of times a day, I find myself thinking about a law and saying out loud, “you don’t own me.”
The government doesn’t own us or our children, and we should be able to choose among safe places to give birth.

The Supreme Court has long muddied the waters when it comes to which rights it considers fundamental. What about the right to choose the circumstances of how you give birth? Today we filed a lawsuit on behalf of Katie Chubb & her birth center https://t.co/mbXHNgCcJJ

Won a mtn to amend in one of our CON cases this AM. It’s a little obscene how good it feels to win the rt to simply *get into* court. But such is the sad state of law surrounding the rt to earn a living. As I told @MollieWRiddle, in our world, small wins are big wins. & I’m proud
