despite the loss of one of its signature duties the committee continued to play a prominent role in the major issues of the nation. the committee was at the center of the debate over the silver question in the latter half of the 19th century. passage of the bland-allison act and the sherman silver purchase act were attempts to remedy the demand for silver, though the silver cause would eventually fail by the end of the century. the committee also continued to play a role in the debate over income taxes. the repeal of the civil war income taxes in the 1870s would eventually be raised in 1894 with the passage of a new income tax law. the supreme court's decision in ruled the income tax as unconstitutional, since it was not based on apportionment. the fight for an income tax finally culminated with the payne-aldrich tariff act of 1909. in order to pass the new tariff senate leaders, including chairman nelson aldrich, allowed for a constitutional amendment to be passed. four years later the 16th amendment was officially ratified and in 1913 the nation's first peacetime income tax was instituted.

benson appealed the decision of the district court. benson argued that prohibiting him from selling his "reliance defense package" and his "16th amendment reliance package" was a violation of his first amendment rights. the court of appeals for the seventh circuit rejected that argument in a ruling on april 6, 2009. the court ruled that although benson could sell his book, "the law that never was", the court order prohibiting him from selling his "reliance defense package" and his "16th amendment reliance package" did not violate his first amendment right, as the sale of those two items constituted "false commercial speech."
