Supreme Court Denies Cert. In Case Challenging President's Authority To Remove A Tax Court Judge

Following up on my previous posts (links below):  the Supreme Court yesterday denied the taxpayers'  cert. petition arguing that the President’s authority under 26 U.S.C. §  7443(f) to remove Tax Court judges violates the Constitution’s separation of powers. Kuretski v. Commissioner, 755 F.3d 929 (D.C. Cir. 2014).
