    No, it's a worse stretch. For the MA stuff, they can at least say that business is somewhat local to MA, and if they actually wanted to do it, they could swap it to a payroll tax targeting the business employing them instead. But California can't do that, as the person can remove the wealth from...

    That's probably going to be tossed. The 'working from home doesn't count' is being challenged as well by New Hampshire v Massachusetts, where Massachusetts tried to levy income tax against people who are working for companies in MA but are working at home in NH. This is going straight to the...

    They absolutely have the authority to make that ruling. Their literal biggest job is to determine if laws abide by the constitution.
