Moore v. U.S.
This case is another opportunity for the Supreme Court to loosen regulations for wealthy donors and corporations. The Supreme Court will decide here whether or not to eliminate certain taxes on foreign-earned income. An adverse ruling could preemptively declare that progressive taxation of wealth or unrealized gains — like the wealth hoarded in the stock market — is unconstitutional. One of the lead attorneys arguing this case is David B. Rivkin Jr. — a lawyer and Wall Street Journal opinion writer who sat down for multiple sympathetic interviews with Justice Alito before and after reports accused Alito of ethics violations. Justice Alito has refused to recuse himself from Moore v. U.S., despite his relationship with Rivkin.
