Reason Takes on California’s Foie Gras Ban in Supreme Court Brief: New at Reason

Last week, Reason Foundation (the nonprofit that publishes Reason) partnered with the Cato Institute to file an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the foie gras producers and sellers who are challenging California’s awful foie gras ban. In March, the plaintiffs asked the Supreme Court to take up their appeal after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last fall reversed a U.S. District Court ruling that had struck down the ban.

Food law expert Baylen Linniken agrees with every single word in the Reason/Cato amicus brief. He should; he wrote it. He explains the background of the bad law, the implications on interstate commerce, and why the Supreme Court needs to step in and stop it.
