Firenze Sage: Fairy Dust Law [foie gras law in CA]

foie gras sold on federal land gets around CA law?

 

Love foie gras?

Made illegal by CA law, one restaurant in San Francisco  located on federal law questions legality of state law.

Experts can’t agree on whether a restaurant located on federal land in California can legally subvert a new state law banning the sale of foie gras.

Evan Lee, a professor at UC Hastings College of Law who specializes in constitutional and criminal law, said there is nothing simple about federal exemption in the case of foie gras.
“So far, there is nothing I can find that makes it explicit,” he said.
“There’s no doubt there is something magical about being on federal land. But you still need Congress to sprinkle its fairy dust.
