Box 1023 LAMBDA LEGAL DEFENSE & Jackson, MS 39215-1023 EDUCATION FUND, INC. 730 Peachtree Street Suite 640 Atlanta, GA 30308 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED In Obergefell v. Hodges, 135 S. Ct. 2584 (2015), this Court held that the Constitution entitles same- sex couples to join in civil marriage on the same terms as different-sex couples. In response, Missis- sippi enacted the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act, Miss. Code Ann. § 11-62-1 et seq. (2016) (“HB 1523”). HB 1523 grants broad immunity to any person who commits enumerated acts of discrimination on the basis of religious beliefs or moral convictions opposing mar- riage of same-sex couples; transgender individuals; and sexual relations outside of a male-female mar- riage. The court of appeals held that petitioners, who do not share the endorsed beliefs, lack standing un- der the Establishment Clause because the religious endorsement takes the form of a statute rather than a religious display that they can physically encoun- ter, and held that they lack standing under the Equal Protection Clause because they have suffered no unequal treatment.

August 7, 2020 Dr. Stephen Hahn Commissioner of Food and Drugs
August 7, 2020 Dr. Stephen Hahn Commissioner of Food and Drugs U.S. Food and Drug Administration VIA E-MAIL Dear Dr. Hahn: As Commissioners and Secretaries of Agriculture, we remain committed to the position that plant-based products labeled as “milk” are misleading and mislabeled. We were encouraged to hear you echo this sentiment during your Senate confirmation hearings in November 2019, affirming that you are in favor of clear, transparent and understandable labeling for the American people. Milk is a food that has an established standard of identity defined in 21 CFR 131.110 as “the lacteal secretion, practically free from colostrum, obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy cows.” However, plant-based products continue to be branded, marketed and sold as milk, creating the misperception that those products are suitable replacements for cow’s milk. Allowing these products to be marketed under the “milk” name and benefit from its nutritional reputation not only creates confusion for consumers, but also hurts the dairy industry which is already facing a financial crisis severe enough to force a large amount of farmers and suppliers out of business. We again call on the Food and Drug Administration to enforce its own food standards and address the issue of mislabeled plant-based products represented to be dairy milk. FDA has addressed the Standard of Identity for milk in warning letters sent in the past, but there have been no recent enforcement actions. The current trend towards enforcement discretion and inaction ironically comes at a time during which the market has exploded with more mislabeled milk substitutes.

China Fires Back Again As Trade Tensions Escalate
April 4, 2018 Volume 14, Number 14 China fires back again as trade tensions escalate In the latest salvo of trade actions between the U.S. and Chinese governments, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) announced plans today to impose a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion of U.S. goods, including soybeans, corn, beef, frozen orange juice and whiskey, according to the Chinese News Agency, Xinhua. The Commerce Ministry said the tariff would be imposed on 106 items of products under 14 categories – but the date of implementation will depend on when the U.S. government imposes tariffs on Chinese products. The latest announcement from China comes after the Trump administration announced in late March that about $3 billion in steel and aluminum tariffs would be put in place to protect national security. Although several countries would be impacted, the target was clearly China - the largest global producer of steel and aluminum. On Monday, China returned fire by imposing similar measures on $3 billion worth of U.S. pork, fruit, wine, nuts and other items. Then on Tuesday, the U.S. Trade Representative published a list of 1,300 Chinese exports, worth about $50 billion, that could be hit with a 25 percent tariff to punish the Asian giant for stealing U.S. trade secrets, intellectual property and innovation. Written comments on the proposal are due May 11 and the Section 301 Committee will convene a public hearing on this proposal at the U.S. International Trade Commission on May 15. But the Chinese didn’t waste any time firing back with the same level of tariffs.

Millsaps College/Chism Strategies State of the State Survey Summary of Findings—January 2019
Millsaps College/Chism Strategies State of the State Survey Summary of Findings—January 2019 ➢ A slight plurality of Mississippians (42%) believe the state is heading in the wrong direction, with 36% saying the state is heading in the right direction. This represents a reversal from the way voters have perceived the state’s direction over the past calendar year. Several divisions exist within the electorate that impact the right direction/wrong direction measurement. First, men are more likely to sense that Mississippi is on the right track (+11%), while women respondents are more likely to sense that the state is on the wrong track (-7%). Second, there is a pronounced age gap when it comes to viewpoints concerning the state’s direction, with younger votes showing a greater sense of pessimism than older voters. Those who are ages 18 to 34 (-24%), 35 to 44 (-30%), and 45 to 54 (-17%) believe Mississippi is heading in the wrong direction, while those 55 to 64 (+8%) and 65 and older (+13) are more positive about the state’s direction. Likewise, there are gaps that form between voters based on variables such as party affiliation, educational attainment, and race. Those who identify as Strong Republicans (+54%) and Republican Leaners (+31%) feel more optimistic about the state than Independents (-34%), Democratic Leaners (-58%), and Strong Democrats (-59%). Voters with less than a high school education (+18%) and those with a high school degree (+16%) are more likely than those with an advance degree (-16%) and those who attended but did not graduate from college (-3%) to believe the state is heading in the wrong direction.
