In the Brennan Center's State Court Report I outline what "natural rights" are in state constitutional law & then review some recent action in that area. Natural rights go by other names, such as "inherent" or "unalienable" & often they're enumerated too. 1/2


A new Zoning Justice Project case, in 4 steps: 1) America has a #housingcrisis. 2) Property owner tries to build new housing (ie, backyard cottage). 3) Gov't blocks housing b/c it doesn't like *who* may live there. 4) Property owner gets w/Institute for Justice (Matt Liles/Ari Bargil) & sues.
