The Buckeye Institute Calls on U.S. Supreme Court to Protect Due Process Rights of Americans
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.”
The Buckeye Institute Calls on SCOTUS to Protect Taxpayers Against Biden’s Tax Mandate
The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Ohio v. Yellen with the U.S. Supreme Court. In its brief, Buckeye called on the court to grant review of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit’s ruling and the constitutionality of the Biden Administration’s tax mandate included in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which prohibited states from directly or indirectly using ARPA funds to offset a reduction in taxes.

Yellen, West Virginia v. Yellen, and Arizona v. Yellen), which urged those respective courts to rule that the Biden Administration’s tax mandate—included in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)—is ambiguous and therefore unenforceable and that the treasury secretary cannot fix Congress’s error through regulatory action.

The Buckeye Institute filed its third amicus brief in Ohio v. Yellen, this time with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute urged the court to uphold the decision by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, which agreed with Buckeye’s two previous briefs and ruled that the Biden Administration’s tax mandate—included in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)—is ambiguous and therefore unenforceable, and that the treasury secretary cannot fix Congress’s error through regulatory action.
The Buckeye Institute Asks Court for Permanent Injunction Against Biden Administration’s Tax Mandate
The Buckeye Institute filed a second amicus brief in Ohio v. Yellen calling upon the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to grant a permanent injunction to stop enforcement of the federal tax mandate, which was included in the American Rescue Plan Act. This second Buckeye brief argues that recent guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department fails to cure the deficiencies of the ambiguous and unconstitutional tax mandate.
