       The Supreme Court May Preemptively Ban a Federal Wealth Tax. As the justices wrestle with rapidly declining public esteem and multiple ethics controversies, taking up a case that could protect billionaires from wealth taxes before Congress can even pass them is an interesting choice. #ExpandTheCourt #CorruptGOP https://newrepublic.com/post/173913/supreme-court-may-pre-emptively-ban-federal-wealth-tax?utm_medium=social&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SF_TNR

       @KimPerales We must, we must protect our wealthy benefactors  so they can continue to give us little presents. Most of the Supremes.

       @KimPerales Seems like all SCOTUS "Justices" with assets above a million $ or so ought to recuse, don't you think?

       @KimPerales This is some horse shit. George Bush inacted a Luxury Tax to pay for his crimes...But let a Dem do it and it's out of question.

       @KimPerales Preemptively deciding an issue not before the Court is unconstitutional, violative of judicial ethics and in contravention of the very foundational principles of the administration of justice. And the New Republic has an exceedingly poor record of realized prognostication.

       @KimPerales@ParanoidFactoid If they do ban it, then either the US Constitution protects oligarchs or the SCOTUS is under the control of oligarchs. Either way, the US is not a republic but an oligarchy.

       @KimPerales maybe they're hoping the billionaires will protect them once the public fully loses any respect for their authority.
