The question presented: "Whether the Sixteenth Amendment authorizes Congress to tax unrealized sums without apportionment among the states."
The goal: to preempt any future wealth or "billionaire" tax.
With cert granted two weeks ago (despite the absence of a circuit split), these conservative activists could be on the cusp of undermining the tax code for generations.
Note too the link between amici and the billionaire friends of Alito & Thomas.
