An Indiana judge has ruled that tacos and burritos are considered 'Mexican-style sandwiches,' allowing a restaurateur to open a new restaurant despite zoning restrictions. The ruling came after a legal battle between the entrepreneur and a planning commission that initially denied the permit. The decision has sparked debate over the classification of tacos as sandwiches and the interpretation of zoning laws.
If the Indiana superior court ruling equating tacos with sandwiches is any measure, judicial activism is alive and well in the United States of America. The Federalist Society still has important work to do. | @NatanEhrenreich https://t.co/idiT1enLVE
What counts a a sandwich? Is it possible that tacos and hot dogs could also be considered sandwiches? https://t.co/kM8VLvqioj
A legal dispute in Indiana about whether tacos are sandwiches illustrates just how absurd and arbitrary modern zoning codes have become. https://t.co/U1mi5sDhPn
