Share to twitterU.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas arrives for the ceremonial swearing in of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the East Room of the White House on October 8, 2018. The decision today in a residency tax audit case, on its third trip to the U.S. Supreme Court, shows how the Court is ready to overturn prior cases. Justice Stephen Breyer put it succinctly in his dissent: “Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next.
“This case shows that precedent gets little weight with the conservative justices on the Roberts’ Court; Justice Breyer expresses this well in his dissent,” says Erwin Chermerinsky, dean of University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, who argued the case on behalf of Hyatt in January.
The FTB case concerned Gilbert Hyatt, who moved from California to Nevada after earning big royalties on a technology patent. The California Franchise Tax Board pursued him, picking through his trash and contacting more than 100 third parties to try to prove that his move to Nevada was a sham to avoid $10 million-plus in state income taxes. Hyatt’s protest of that tax bill is still pending before the California Office of Tax Appeals.
Separately, Hyatt sued the FTB in Nevada state court for the torts he alleged the agency committed during the audit. California sought to have the case dismissed under its laws granting immunity to state officials. The U.S. Supreme Court

In setback for Apple, U.S. Supreme Court lets App Store antitrust suit proceedA divided U.S. Supreme Court on Monday gave the go-ahead to an antitrust lawsuit... Bizarrely un-American. Imagine owning a farm and the store that sells your goods. Why should other farmers be allowed to sell in a store YOU own stocked with food you grow. Surely, the only other vendors you’d let in would stock products you don’t grow, right? 🤷🏻♂️ Microsoft is known for its third-party affiliations, Apple has paid the price, repeatedly, for maintaining production/development standards that limit the scope of both rollout and manufacturing. Apple needs to change, but the App Store isn’t the place they need to focus.

With abortion cases looming, Breyer warns Supreme Court may overturn major precedentNBC’s Pete Williams joins MTP Daily to discuss Supreme Court Justice Breyer appearing to issue a warning to his colleagues about Roe v. Wade, as several states move to enact abortion restricting legislation. Be careful what you wish for! I have a plan that would ELIMINATE abortions once and for all. Sterilize ALL boys at age 13! If desperate young women and girls must submit to forced medical procedures men must also! (We can reverse them if they get married.) Roe v. Wade is not being overturned. Even if it does, other states would make it legal. It was legal in some states before the decision. If precedent was wrong, it should be overturned. Abortion is a violence against the weakest. Parents who don't want to raise their child should give birth to an unborn child and entrust it to the care of government or social helper organization.
