Gay Millionaire Charles Merrill Loses Tax Court Appeal

07/19/09 Leonard Link, by law professor Arthur Leonard:

The United States Tax Court is generally not a place where you can win constitutional arguments, so it is not really surprising that the Court rebuffed an attempt by gay millionaire Charles E. Merrill to win a reversal of the IRS's refusal to let him file joint returns with his then-domestic partner for tax years 2004 and 2005.
