When the opponents of liberty try to come for you by name, you know you’re doing something right.
US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse recently filed an amicus curiae brief in the case of Loper Bright v. Raimondo. The case—which Mountain States also filed an amicus brief in—centers around the notorious Chevron doctrine, which has enabled federal bureaucracies for years to interpret vague statutes without much interference from the courts. We filed our brief to help dismantle Chevron and return sanity to review of federal regulations.
Senator Whitehouse’s amicus, however, clearly thinks the massive bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., should be left alone. So shook was the senator at the possibility that the bureaucrats would be limited he called out Mountain States specifically 11 times in his brief!
The brief says that Mountain States is a “collaborator in a decades-long…attempt to undermine government regulation.”
Yes, thank you for noticing! We’re not sure if the gentleman from Rhode Island has been paying attention, but that’s the point. One of the gravest threats to the Constitution, the rule of law, and the rights to liberty and property in this nation is the oversized and practically unmitigated reach of federal regulatory agencies.
So, we are guilty as charged. And we wear Senator Whitehouse’s attempted condemnation as a badge of honor. We’re proud of our work representing clients such as Paul Nettleton, Jennifer VanDerStok, Sydney Longwell, Andrew Brigida, and countless other individuals and groups fighting back against the federal government. And we’re proud to represent the Constitution in court because it certainly needs defenders these days.
You can expect to see more of us, Senator.
