End the federal immigration monopoly

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

On Cleveland.com, The Buckeye Institute calls on Congress to end the failed federal immigration monopoly, writing, “Instead of a one-size-fits-all immigration scheme drafted inside the Beltway, the United States should design a collaborative state and federal visa program that gives states a say in admitting high-skilled workers to fill local labor market needs. This commonsense, state-based visa idea is gaining bipartisan traction across the country and here in Ohio.”

The Buckeye Institute Calls on SCOTUS to Protect Free Speech from Government “Jawboning”

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

After a win in Missouri v. Biden, The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in O’Handley v. Weber—a free speech case out of California—calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and stop the state of California from “jawboning” social media companies to censor viewpoints the government does not agree with. As it did in its amicus brief in Missouri v. Biden, Buckeye argues that “jawboning” blurs the line between permissible government speech and impermissible censorship schemes and raises significant concerns about the expansion of the government speech doctrine.

The Buckeye Institute joined New Civil Liberties Alliance in filing an amicus brief in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to rein in the power of the unelected administrative state and protect the separation-of-powers principle embedded in the U.S. Constitution. “In violation of the Appropriations Clause and the separation of powers, the CFPB is free from any meaningful form of democratic accountability and has no meaningful constraints on its authority.”

Leave a Comment / Press Releases /

Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute, commented after Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 33, Ohio’s biennial budget, into law. “Governor DeWine proposed greater school choice for Ohio families, Speaker Stephens and the Ohio House expanded it, and President Huffman and the Ohio Senate rightly made it universal. As a result, Ohio families will have access to the education that best meets their children’s needs.”

The U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Biden v. Nebraska, ruling that President Biden’s student loan debt cancellation plan is unconstitutional, agreeing with arguments The Buckeye Institute made in its amicus brief and its case Latta v. U.S. Department of Education. In a 6-3 decision, the court said, “The text of the HEROES Act does not authorize the Secretary’s loan forgiveness program.”

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Culley v. Marshall, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to protect the due process rights of Americans against unconstitutional civil asset forfeiture laws. “Alabama’s civil asset forfeiture law, and others like it, create a powerful financial incentive to abuse state police powers—in violation of due process—to seize valuable property on the mere suspicion of criminal wrongdoing.”

ESG and net-zero policies make July 4th more expensive

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

July 4th is almost here, and next year our Independence Day cookouts could be a whole lot more expensive. Rules proposed by the Biden Administration will hit families at the grocery store and increase the cost of our summer cookouts by 77 percent. In The Center Square, The Buckeye Institute writes, “Ironically, just as Americans gather to remember our declared independence from King George’s overreach, the Biden administration will be embracing new European-style climate-control rules that have proven just as tyrannical.”

Don’t look to Ohio to justify NCInnovation spending spree

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

In The Carolina Journal, The Buckeye Institute urges North Carolina’s General Assembly to avoid Ohio’s mistakes as it considers “funding a private nonprofit organization to invest taxpayer dollars in risky for-profit startups.” “Some advocating this plan point to two Ohio programs with similar missions and public funding structures for support. But those programs—Third Frontier and JobsOhio—should give North Carolina policymakers pause, not something to emulate.”

The Buckeye Institute Calls on Court to Protect the Principle of Federalism

Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Montana Medical Association v. Knudsen, calling on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth District to protect states from the expansion of federal regulations without congressional approval. In its brief, Buckeye argues that the federal district court’s ruling dangerously expands the scope of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act far beyond what the laws allow.
