The plaintiffs’ arguments in Moore v. United States have little basis in law — unless you think that a list of long-ago-discarded laissez-faire decisions from the early 20th century remain good law. And a decision favoring these plaintiffs could blow a huge hole in the federal budget. While no Warren-style wealth tax is on the books, the Moore plaintiffs do challenge an existing tax that is expected to raise $340 billion over the course of a decade.

But Republicans also hold six seats on the nation’s highest Court, so there is some risk that a majority of the justices will accept the plaintiffs’ dubious legal arguments. And if they do so, they could do considerable damage to the government’s ability to fund itself.

                You did, why lie.

                I didn’t spam you bud, in fact you boasted about trolling me. You ain’t too smart bud.

                You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

                    Uh huh, whatever makes you feel better boss. Did you add anything to the conversation or did you instead just continue your shitty behavior.

                    I’m not, if you didn’t want to be bothered by me you probably shouldn’t reach out to me, makes sense right.

                    You dumb. You’re a bigot at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.
