Here is the fatal flaw in your logic. The Supreme Court IS NOT the sole arbiter of the U.S. Constitution. In fact ALL citizens determine whether or not something is or is not Constitutional. There is absolutely no requirement for judical review for something to be unconstitutional. The first supreme court said this in the Marbury vs. Madison case.

The Constitution invests very limited powers in a very limited scope to all branches of the U.S. government. The Supreme Court routinely violates those limits and rules against the U.S. Constitution (making the court ruling itself unconstitutional in its face and thus null and void) by allowing unconstitutional laws to pass if they deem them to be in the "interests" of the U.S. government, even though the USSC is not granted such discretionary powers by the Constitution.

The fact that people pay taxes under duress is absolutely NOT offering consent and does NOT mean they see legitimacy in the process. That's a baseless claim.
