    I don’t think they can. States are allowed to tax their citizens and the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction.

      Why are you so confident that they’ll still care about jurisdiction 2 years from now? The SCOTUS does not respect or obey the law or the constitution.

      We’ve been watching them ignore more and more of the rules and precedents that the court has always held to. They’re becoming more and more confident in their ability to do whatever the fuck they want, because, as it turns out, in the real world, the SCOTUS is accountable to no one except maybe the mob violence that we are going to see when things continue to not improve.
