    If the IRS decides, you’re a millionaire now and taxes you accordingly, you can go to court and they will decide whether you’re actually taxable as a millionaire.

    Funny enough, no you can’t. The courts don’t have any say in that.

    There’s all kinds of government determinations that have no court remedy. Impeachment, for example, is done solely through congress.

      Of course they have. If, say, they decide wrongly that the house you sold is worth 50million and not 50k, you can go to court for that.

      Impeachment is a bit of a different beast, since it’s done by the governing body - essentially they’re making it legal on the fly. But even then, I’m pretty sure, if Congress would have decided in 2013 that Obama can’t be president because he’s black, there would be an option for the supreme court.
