President Biden’s fighting court cases up to his ears. He’s steeped in serious legal trouble.
And now a Federal Judge has found Joe Biden guilty of breaking the law.
Even before the Joe Biden classified document mishandling debacle broke to the American public, Joe Biden had been neck-deep in legal battles.
His administration has been doing everything it can to fight conservatives in the court system at every corner.
These court battles include some that have gone all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, like the case being heard at the High Court that involves a Christian website designer who kindly declined to make a website for a same-sex couple.
Biden’s Principal Deputy Solicitor made his arguments before the Supreme Court for why the Christian website designer should be forced to build the website.
That ruling is still in the air.
But another less talked about – but simply massive ruling – was just handed down by a federal judge. And Biden is not going to like it.
As part of Joe Biden’s misnomered “American Rescue Plan” that was signed into law back in 2021, Joe Biden and the Democrats tried to block states like Florida, Tennessee, and Texas from being able to cut taxes.
This is obviously a great violation of the U.S. Constitution and the design of having states that can pass their own laws and regulations.
As a result, 13 Attorneys General from Republican states sued the Biden administration for violating their right to pass laws that benefit their citizens rather than the federal government.
The case was brought to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit and they’ve just reached a concluding ruling.
Judge Andrew Brasher – who was appointed by President Donald Trump – ruled that the Biden administration violated the U.S. Constitution in trying to force states to “enact laws or policies that Congress prefers.”
“The Constitution does not give the federal government authority to require states to enact the laws or policies that Congress prefers,” Judge Andrew Brasher said in his 42-page opinion.
West Virginia’s Attorney General Patrick Morrisey praised the ruling saying that the federal government shouldn’t be allowed to overreach in this way.
He said it’s a huge win for states being able to decide what’s best for the state, rather than the federal government trying to play that job.
Yesterday, the US Circuit Court of Appeals in the 11th Circuit gave WV & 12 other states a massive victory.
Our win ensures the federal government will not determine whether and how WV cuts taxes for its people.
Federal overreach will not be tolerated on my watch.

Obviously, this is a massive deal that probably won’t get the attention of the media.
Unless the Biden administration seeks to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, as it stands, states were just given a huge relief from the federal government breathing down their necks.
Ron DeSantis – and any other conservative Governor, for example – shouldn’t have to ask the federal government for permission to enact fiscal laws and policies that are good for the people of that state.
This once again proves that Democrats are the Party of high-burden taxes and elitism today.
Stay tuned to the Federalist Wire.
