It'll be highly enlightening to find out whether Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's office takes this towering victory for personal liberty up on appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court
Good news for advocates of entrepreneurial liberty this morning, as the Standard-Examiner reports that "a Centerville woman who braids hair to supplement her family’s income has won a federal lawsuit against the state over its licensing process for her craft, arguing state regulations violated her right to earn a living":
More from the Institute for Justice, the libertarian-oriented law firm which (with the help of local co-counsel) succeeded in striking down Utah's heavy handed Big Gummint licencing scheme. We frankly can't blame 'em for tootin' their own horn:
Our GOP-dominated state government makes plenty of political hay by "posturing" as a fierce opponent of overbearing government regulation. It'll therefore be highly enlightening, wethinks, to find out whether Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's office takes this towering victory for personal liberty, and glaring defeat for government over-regulation, up on appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court.
