Supreme Court Could Trigger Hundreds of Billions in Corporate Tax Cuts 'With the Stroke of Pen'
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Could Trigger Billions in Corporate Tax Cuts with a Single Decision
- A new report warns of significant tax gifts for corporations and a potential $340 billion deficit in the federal budget due to an upcoming SCOTUS case in December.
- According to estimates, nearly 400 multinational corporations could collectively receive over $270 billion in tax relief if the conservative-dominated U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiffs in Moore v. United States.
- The Roosevelt Institute and ITEP also discovered that Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito own shares in 19 companies that could receive a total of $30 billion in tax breaks if the judges invalidate the 2017 law's mandatory repatriation tax.
- The case has implications beyond the repatriation tax, potentially allowing the Supreme Court to become a major tax policymaker and creating uncertainty about the ability to tax large corporations and the wealthy.

Guantanamo judge rules 9/11 defendant unfit for trial after panel finds abuse rendered him psychotic
Quick Glance: 9/11 defendant ruled unfit for trial due to torture-induced psychosis
- A military judge in Guantanamo Bay has declared one of the 9/11 defendants unfit for trial after a military medical panel determined that the man's sustained abuse in CIA custody has left him permanently psychotic.
- Pre-trial hearings for the remaining defendants resumed on Friday in the military courtroom at the U.S. naval base in Cuba.
- No trial date has been set for the case, which has been delayed by logistical issues, high turnover, and legal challenges.
- A military medical panel last month diagnosed al-Shibh with post-traumatic stress disorder and secondary psychosis, attributing it to his torture and solitary confinement during his four years in CIA custody following his 2002 arrest.
