Sen. Elizabeth Warren has set the stage for a colossal battle at the U.S. Supreme Court over her proposed wealth tax on households worth more than $50 million.
The proposal, which would raise trillions of dollars to fund a host of social programs that are key to the Massachusetts senator’s agenda, would awaken an area of constitutional law that has lain dormant for decades, experts say.
And it would put Warren, if elected president, on an early collision course with a branch of government that could determine the success or failure of her administration.
