In it the Court has certified this question for review: The Sixteenth Amendment authorizes Congress to lay "Taxes on incomes without apportionment among the several States." Beginning with Eisner v. Macomber, 252 U.S. 189, this Court's decisions have uniformly held "Income," for Sixteenth Amendment purposes, to require realization by the taxpayer.
The Ninth Circuit became "The first court in the country to state that an 'income tax' doesn't require that a 'taxpayer has realized income."' App.38.
The question presented is: Whether the Sixteenth Amendment authorizes Congress to tax unrealized sums without apportionment among the states.
Thus the assault on the Court's conservative justices.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has gone so far as to write Chief Justice Roberts seeking the recusal of Justice Alito.
Justice Alito rejected the recusal request made in Durbin's letter by order dated September 8, 2023, and posted online by the Court here.
Justice Alito found Durbin's letter to be without merit.
