The Texas rancher was living his worst nightmare. He was embroiled in an income tax case with the federal government that was intent on foreclosing on his ranch, taking everything and leaving nothing due to unpaid liens.
The rancher’s effort to fight back turned the incident into a landmark case. On September 14, 2015, he filed a petition in United States District Court, Eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division Case No. 9:14-CV-138 that challenged the Constitutional authority of the feds to usurp the authority of the courts in Tyler County, Texas.
The United States had 14 days to respond, but remained silent, apparently the first and only time that the government failed to respond to a jurisdiction challenge.
The rancher was not dissuaded. On September 30, 2015, he filed a Demand for Dismissal. Again, there was no response. How can the worst nightmare become even worse? The rancher will likely answer that when the Federal Court in conjunction with the IRS is trying to illegally seize your property while ignoring your legal rights, this is about as bad as your nightmare can be.
All within the rights of the rancher, his petition claimed that the Federal Court lacked the territorial and personal jurisdiction in Tyler Country, Texas, and demanded a dismissal of the case. The text of the petition indicated that the law was on his side.

This needs Attention. The soul bro is gone Time to end the BLM
He is using facts that are written in the constitution to overide the fictional statutes the federal government just made up. If they rule in his favor, it sets a precedent that will destroy the federal governments tyrannical land grabbing, if they rule against they are breaking their oath of office and committing treason. It is that simple. I would like to know the details as well though on how he argued them into a stalemate.
I had always thought that at first Federal courts only had jurisdiction on federal lands, reservation, military bases and between States, or people and either the State or Federal Government.
The fact that you call it treason tells me a lot lol
What law did they make?
He was talking about same sex marriages. He said that was a state issue.
It is a state issue, unless the federal govt has started issuing marriage liscenses…
That was the reference he used. Not me. He was also talking about how the SCOTUS has been weakened. He said it at a dinner in honor of Scalia.
Justice Thomas is a brilliant and brave man
