Solicitor General Scott Stewart argues against a lawsuit in state chancery court, July 5, 2022, in Jackson, Miss. Stewart argued before a federal appeals court on Oct. 5 in favor of limiting the federal government’s ability to sue states over their mental health systems. On Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023, the appeals court overturned a district court judge's ruling that found Mississippi relies too much on institutionalizing people with mental health conditions.
