In Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. (1895), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the income tax imposed by the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act of 1894 was unconstitutional. The Court held that the tax on income derived from property was a direct tax that needed to be apportioned among the states according to the Constitution. This decision effectively invalidated the federal income tax until the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified in 1913, allowing Congress to levy income taxes without apportionment.

No, the case of Plessy v. Ferguson did not go straight to the Supreme Court. It first went through the Criminal District Court for the Parish of Orleans, where Homer Plessy was convicted for violating Louisiana's segregation laws. After that, the case was appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court before ultimately being taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued its decision in 1896.
The Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, issued in 1973, addressed the constitutionality of laws that criminalized or restricted access to abortions. The Court ruled that a woman's right to choose to have an abortion fell under the right to privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. This landmark decision effectively legalized abortion across the United States, striking down many state laws that limited access to the procedure. Roe v. Wade has since been a pivotal and contentious issue in American legal and political discourse.
