The Buckeye Institute to SCOTUS: Rein in Police Powers of the State
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Norris v. Stanley, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and correct a misreading of Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which lower courts have over-interpreted to allow the government to use its police power to force people to get medical treatments. “The government is not the all-knowing purveyor of truth and should not be given deferential treatment when it wants to infringe on individual rights regarding medical treatments.”
