The #lawsuit was initiated by a Washington couple backed by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, an #AntiRegulatory advocacy group. Charles & Kathleen Moore were subject to $15k in taxes because of the 2017 #law, springing from #investments they had made in a company based in India that supplies equipment to small-scale farmers. The law created a 1-time #tax on certain #offshore earnings that had previously been exempt from #taxation unless the taxpayer brought the money back to the US.

While #JohnEastman’s views on the #environment are #extreme,…they aren’t exactly rare. He epitomizes the type of #AntiRegulatory, #FederalistSociety bred #legal mind you can expect to see elevated by #Trump. “Eastman has been part of a project to take down #FederalRegulation for a long time,” Andy Mergen, a clinical prof of #EnvironmentalLaw at Harvard said, “which is coming to fruition w/these #ChevronDeference cases.” w/the most #conservative makeup in decades, #SCOTUS is poised to deliver.
