I wonder if that would apply to U.S. citizens who live and work in another country - and damn well pay income taxes back to the U.S. - or get fined up the wazoo. Double taxation again.
I just don’t see how that is legal.

That would and SHOULD be the next challenge IF this one is decided rightly.
America (the so called land of the free ), is one of only two countries ( the other being Eritrea ) that taxes income of citizens and permanent residents earned OUTSIDE the United States.
A U.S. citizen who is taxed in another country is not taxed twice on the same income. The U.S. has treaties with many countries which specify which country can tax which kind of income. When there is no applicable treaty, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allows the U.S. taxpayer a credit for foreign taxes paid.
Having said all that, the IRS takes the position that these credits are a matter of "legislative grace," meaning that (in their view) nothing in the Constitution requires Congress to allow such a credit.
