    Dude you gotta spend at least like one click and 2 seconds on trying to read the article.

    Is there supposed to be a link for this?

    I don’t think the Supreme Court can preemptively decide anything without a lawsuit. Is there something in a recent ruling that signals this?

    First sentence: “The Supreme Court took up a case on Monday that could make it nearly impossible for Congress to pass a federal wealth tax, giving the justices an opportunity to torpedo a major Democratic policy proposal before it can be enacted.”

    All the lower courts have rejected the plaintiffs’ fairly ridiculous argument, so the fact that the Supreme Court took the case in the first place is a worrying sign, which it’s fair to summarize this way I think.
