Minor point - it is Schulz v IRS. This case, for those of us who believe in a restoration of balance of power and Constitutional limits and prerogatives, is probably the most important case to come through the courts in a long long long time. If it withstands possible appeals, it completely emasculates the regulatory / adminstrative law apparatus of the federal (and perhaps state) governments, and if there is one part of the government that the People find objectionable this is it.

Even though the reasoning is clear and firmly based in unambiguous constitutional language I fear what the Supreme Court is likely to do. Rhenquist and Scalia (but not Thomas) are more worrisome, even, than the other crowd because they tend to believe in stare decisis, status quo, and power to the state - and for those who admire Scalia's statements about original intent, his ability to evade clear constitutional principals when it serves the power of the federal government never ceases to amaze me.
