BREAKING: Hawaii took Don Williams' property through eminent domain for $3 million less than it was worth. Then, the State lowered its offer, claiming Don now owes them 1.5 million. After a 13-year legal battle, a trial court agreed that Hawaii owed $7 million for his land.

This week, America lost one of its greatest historians of the Founding — Gordon S. Wood.
Professor Wood believed America is unique because it is a "credo nation" — held together not by shared ancestry, but by a common commitment to liberty, equality, and self-governance.

As he put it: "To be an American is not to be somebody, but to believe in something."
With the 250th birthday of the Declaration of Independence just weeks away, his words feel more important than ever. Read the tribute: pacificlegal.org/remembering…

California is prosecuting people for talking — specifically, for talking about mental health without a psychology license. We’re suing to stop the state from using an undefined licensing law to silence speech it hasn't authorized.

3/ First Amendment protects the right of ordinary Americans to have honest conversations and give paid advice—without government interference. It would also prevent the State from using an undefined licensing statute as a tool to silence speakers it has not authorized.

BREAKING: Washington's Department of Ecology blocked Ron Fodé’s only lawful path to comply with state water law for his farm — using a deadline it never published — then penalized him for not complying. Now we’re representing Ron at the Washington Supreme Court.

3/ Washington's Department of Ecology violated the state’s Administrative Procedure Act by enforcing an internal deadline that wasn’t published or ever open to public comment. The Department blocked Ron’s only pathway to compliance, then started imposing fines.

4/ The State Legislature passed a law to prevent this exact situation from happening, but Washington farmers are still facing fines after attempting to comply with a convoluted process. We’re helping the Fodés fight back. pacificlegal.org/case/ron-fo…

UPDATE: Napa is moving to collect millions from the Hoopes family before litigation concludes. The County knows we have a strong argument, but they are rushing to destroy Lindsay’s business before the courts can rule whether these fines are constitutional.
Napa County is fining a family winery $3.5 MILLION—more than its lifetime revenue—for hosting previously approved wine tastings.
Lindsay Hoopes obtained all the required permits, and the property has had zero public complaints in over 40 years.

BREAKING: We're suing to stop a Hawaii law that blocks residents from accessing certain housing benefits unless they can prove a 50% native Hawaiian blood quantum. When Eric Ryan tried to apply for a homestead lease, he was told he's ineligible — because of his ancestry.

3/ Courts have long held that government classifications based on ancestry are just as unconstitutional as those based on race — subject to strict scrutiny under the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause and the Fourteenth's Equal Protection Clause. Hawaii's law falls far short.

4/ We're representing Eric at no cost to him. When the government sorts citizens by ancestry, everyone loses — some are shut out, others are told they can't succeed on their own. We're suing to stop this unconstitutional discrimination. pacificlegal.org/case/ryan-w…

California's SB 54 forces venture capital firms to collect information from their founders about their race, ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation — then report it all for the State to publish. We’re representing @1517fund in a lawsuit to stop it.

3/ The First Amendment protects your right to speak AND stay silent. Forcing a business to gather and report deeply private data is compelled speech. And scoring each fund on its portfolio's "diversity," pressures investors to consider race — a clear Equal Protection violation.

4/ We're representing 1517 Fund at no cost because sorting people by race is never a neutral act. California enacted SB 54 under the guise of fighting discrimination, but the law itself creates a public pressure campaign that favors certain races.
