I agree, that fundamentals trump all else. No law nor even Supreme Court ruling can render a fundamental right invalid.

The Supreme Court has historically, especially concerning the so-called “income tax” ruled one way one time, and then another another time. For instance, it has ruled any number of t6ime that the income tax was a direct tax, and then any number of other times, that it was an indirect tax. In at least one other case, it rules that the income tax was a “special tax”, being a direct tax relieved of the requirement of apportionment among the states. Only problem with that is that the Constitution allows for no such type of tax to be levied, and the same court has ruled on more than one occasion that the Sixteenth Amendment created no new power of taxation, meaning that the only possible classifications of taxes are either direct or indirect, leaving no room at all for any purported “special tax”.
