Leave a Comment / Legal, Press Releases /

The Buckeye Institute and Professor Richard A. Epstein jointly filed an amicus brief in 74 Pinehurst v.

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Moore v. United States, urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and reverse a ruling out of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that would expand congressional authority to levy taxes well beyond what the Constitution and court precedent allow. “The Ninth Circuit’s fallacious ruling effectively does away with more than a century of Supreme  Court precedent, and, if allowed to stand, would vastly expand congressional taxing authority.”
