Supreme Court's New Term: Billionaires, Expectations, and Challenges

The start of the Supreme Court's new term raises concerns about the influence of the Federalist Society justices and their ties to billionaires. The docket includes cases that align with the interests of their wealthy backers, such as attacks on government regulation and civil rights. One seemingly less significant case, Moore v. United States, is being used as a vehicle to address the constitutionality of taxes on wealth and unrealized gains. The involvement of billionaires and their connections to the Manhattan Institute and Leonard Leo, who played a role in selecting Trump's court appointments, further highlight the influence of money on the court's agenda.
