Neal Katyal and a Democratic senator-turned-lobbyist are pressuring justices to block Congress from ever instituting a wealth tax on the superrich.
Katyal is an MSNBC mainstay who came to prominence as a liberal defender of Republican president Donald Trump ’s Supreme Court nominees, all of whom will now rule on the case.
SAFE is organized as a so-called social welfare nonprofit, which allows it to hide the identity of its donors and avoid taxes.
Katyal was an acting solicitor general for President Barack Obama .
He endorsed Neil Gorsuch and his “commitment to judicial independence” Katyal introduced Neil Gorsuch at his subsequent confirmation hearing.
SAFE’s amicus brief is the latest move in a yearslong campaign to protect the assets of wealthy people from taxation.
This year , SAFE launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign opposing Democratic proposals to tax the wealth of people worth $100 million .
