“The question in this case is whether a Connecticut rule restricting the use of certain teeth-whitening procedures to licensed dentists is unconstitutional under the Due Process or Equal Protection Clauses.” Senior Circuit Judge Guido Calabresi issued this opinion today on behalf of a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Circuit Judge Christopher F. Droney issued a concurring opinion that begins:

I join the majority opinion in its conclusion that the Dental Commission’s declaratory ruling is rationally related to the state’s legitimate interest in protecting the public health. Because this is sufficient to resolve the appeal, I would not reach the question of whether pure economic protectionism is a legitimate state interest for purposes of rational basis review. The majority having chosen to address that issue, I write separately to express my disagreement.

Paul M. Sherman of the Institute for Justice argued the case on the appellant’s behalf.
