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’re certainly a douche, lovable not so much I can’t say I find any bigot lovable. Similarly those people probably weren’t your friends, they probably told you “jokingly” to go the fuck away but you can’t take a hint.

    Douchebaggery ain’t a sport, sport.

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

        I doubt you have any bud.

        You’d be right, was it the disability you can’t help but make fun of that tipped you off? Genius commentary bud, keep it up.

          You could’ve gotten your disability from sports - you know, the same way I got my injuries.

            Sure, or I could have been born like that but we know how you feel about disability which is why I call you a Nazi. Keep up.

                And they’d be fucking stupid.

                Are you legit quoting Katy Perry and thinking it’s somehow a point?

                A Nazi that loves “fireworks” is an interesting combo.
