The Buckeye Institute Urges Court Uphold Injunction While Free Speech Case Is Heard

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed its second amicus brief in Missouri v. Biden. This one urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to uphold a preliminary injunction—that forbids the Biden Administration from “jawboning” social media companies to censor viewpoints the government does not agree with—until the case is resolved. In this brief, Buckeye highlights several examples going back to World War II, when the federal government provided the American public with information only to find later that the government’s initial assessment was, in fact, wrong.

US EPA should listen to Mayor Horrigan

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

In the Akron Beacon Journal, Trevor Lewis, an economic research analyst with the Economic Research Center at The Buckeye Institute, calls on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to heed Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan’s call for bottom-up solutions to environmental problems prepared by local communities. “One size does not fit all when tailoring environmental and energy regulations. Each rule must be custom fit, considering regional factors and how the community will be impacted.”

The Supply Chain Case for State-Based Visas

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

At RealClearPolicy, Logan Kolas, an economic policy analyst with The Buckeye Institute’s Economic Research Center, calls for a collaborative state-federal effort to allow states to tailor a state-based visa program to fit their local labor markets. “[C]entral planners in Washington have failed—once again—to anticipate changing market conditions and keep pace with consumer and producer needs. A less centralized, more nuanced approach to legal immigration would give state policymakers a seat at the table to better inform federal immigration decisions.”

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

In The Columbus Dispatch, Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute, makes the non-partisan case for voting YES on Issue 1. “Tell your friends, family, and neighbors: voting ‘yes’ on August 8 will align Ohio’s constitutional amendment process with the wise supermajority requirements enshrined in our beloved U.S. constitution and simultaneously ensure that Ohio does not become beholden to special interests on either side.”

The Buckeye Institute Calls on SCOTUS to Overturn Chevron and Assert Judicial Independence

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute was joined by the National Federation of Independent Business in filing an amicus brief in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to abandon the Chevron doctrine, which compels federal courts to defer to a federal agency’s creative statutory reading of a law—beyond what Congress authorized. In their brief, The Buckeye Institute and NFIB argue that Chevron deference has led to agency self-aggrandizement, legislative indifference, and judicial passivity.

Smith, the court has another opportunity to tell government officials that they cannot create Fourth Amendment-free zones through oppressive regulatory schemes.”
