Manhattan Institute one of eight conservative advocacy groups that filed amicus briefs urging the court to hear Moore v US

The revelations have stoked serious accusations of ethical and legal violations by the two rightwing justices, who failed to disclose the travel and – in Thomas’s case – hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional gifts from the Crows, including property purchases and private tuition payments for Thomas’s grand nephew.

Charles Moore spent most of his career as a software engineer at Microsoft, where he met one of the future founders of KisanKraft, a company that provides low-cost tools to farmers in India. The only “return” the couple had made, Kathleen noted, was knowing that the company was helping and reaching people “all over India”. “We are doing this because we strongly believe in the rule of law in this country,” said Charles.

The Moores’ arguments were rejected by lower courts, with the ninth circuit court of appeals ultimately declining in 2022 to re-hear their case. In its decision, the court said that the realization of income “does not determine whether a tax is constitutional”.

“There are so many different variations of what could be income,” said Rosenthal. For the past 100 years, he said, the definition of what gains were taxable has been treated as an administrative issue for Congress and not as a constitutional issue for the supreme court to decide.

Biden probe into COVID origins censored reports the virus was likely genetically engineeredBiden probe into COVID origins censored reports the virus was likely genetically engineeredSky News can reveal US President Joe Biden’s 90-day probe into the origins of COVID-19 censored the input of intelligence agency scientists who concluded the virus was most likely genetically engineered. “In May 2021, Biden tasked the Intelligence Community with providing an assessment on how the pandemic began,' said Sky News host Sharri Markson. “He did this after we at Sky News published reports that researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been hospitalised with COVID-like symptoms in November 2019 in the suspected first cluster of the outbreak. “When the report was published, it found that intelligence agencies were split on whether the pandemic started with a lab-associated incident or natural exposure to an infected animal. “But it concluded that most intelligence agencies assessed the virus, even if it had leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was natural, rather than manipulated in a lab.” “Sky News now understands that this was not the assessments made by scientists in four groups within the intelligence agencies that actually engaged in scientific analysis, they concurred that there was either a high likelihood or at the very least, a reasonable chance that the virus was genetically engineered.”
