Federal court rules Biden’s attempt to stop state tax cuts as unconstitutional, Moody celebrates

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced on Thursday that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit denied the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s motion for a full panel review of the court’s prior decision.

At the beginning of 2023, a three-judge panel deemed it unconstitutional for the Biden administration to withhold funds from states that reduced their taxes, through the American Rescue Plan Act.

“For the third time, a federal court sided with Florida and rejected @JoeBiden’s attempt to stop our state from cutting your taxes,” she said on social media.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall led a coalition of states to challenge the federal governments overreach that was being carried out through the leverage of the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill.
