Imagine strangers came into your place of business to harass you and your employees. Worse yet, there was nothing you could do to make them leave. On the contrary, the government forced you to allow this intrusion. That’s precisely what was going on in the state of California.
But not anymore.
Mountain States Legal Foundation cheered a recent 6-3 Supreme Court decision to uphold property rights in the Cedar Point Nursery v. Gould case. The case, filed by our friends at the Pacific Legal Foundation, challenged a California law requiring businesses to open their property to union organizers without compensating those businesses for the use of their property.
Thanks in part to your support, we filed numerous amicus curiae briefs in support of the nursery in this crucial defense against the Left’s encroachment of property rights.
David McDonald, MSLF’s lead attorney on the case, praised the Court’s ruling. “The Court struck a blow for liberty, enforcing meaningful restrictions on the government’s ability to invade private property with a forcefulness and clarity we rarely see from the Court on property rights issues. The Cedar Point decision is a major win for small businesses, private property owners, and all Americans who benefit from a limited government and the rule of law.”
