The Supremes cannot uphold this illegal FJB overreach without upending precedent and shredding the Constitution...
“The Supreme Court has previously recognized that income requires ‘realization.’ It requires that the taxpayer actually received the money, and the Congress cannot eliminate that requirement without complying with the apportionment requirement of the Constitution.”
.
.
.
“But if Congress were going to directly tax property, such as a land tax, Congress would have to do that in a way that fell equally among all the states, which [is hard to do] because there is an uneven distribution of property—land is cheaper in some states than in others.”
.
.
.
“So the question posed by the Moore case is, 'What is the definition of income under the 16th Amendment?' And specifically, 'Can Congress do away with the realization requirement?'”

If this income can be redefined to pull in unrealized crap and apportionment can go from objective to subjective then the Constitution is toast and a despotic government can tax anybody for anything they desire...
It will illegally legalize despotism.
