Supreme Court Appeal: Can States Bar You from Using Navigable Waters?

Jim and Cliff Courtney have tried for 23 years to transport customers to their family’s businesses, only to be blocked by government every step of the way. The infamous Slaughter-House Cases stripped Americans of most economic liberties BUT explicitly protected the right to use the navigable waters as a right of national citizenship. The 9th Circuit, however, ruled that states can flatly bar INTRAstate transportation on the navigable waters. If precedent means anything, the Courtney brothers should win.
