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.

Justice Thomas Calls For Limiting The Supreme Court’s Power

At a dinner in honor of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas called on conservatives to do their jobs to limit the Supreme Court from overstretching its power.

Thomas told the crowd of 1,700 people on Thursday night that the Supreme Court has too often granted rights to people that are not found in the Constitution.
“Today it is the view of many that the Supreme Court is the giver of liberties—what an odd conception of governance that “We The People” are dependent on the third branch of government to grant us our freedom,” Thomas said. “With such unchecked judicial power, we leave it for the least accountable branch to decide what newly discovered rights should be appended to our Constitution.”
Thomas then went on to say that Scalia’s legacy needs to be carried on, and the Constitution needs to be interpreted exactly as the framers wrote it.

“Whether we in this room tonight ultimately win or lose the effort to reclaim the forms of government that the Framers intended, it is our duty to stand firm in the defense of the Constitutional principles and structure that secure our liberty,” Thomas said. “Like Justice Scalia, we must do what the Constitution obliges us to do. It is now for us, the living, to be dedicated to the unfinished business for which Justice Scalia gave his last full measure of devotion.”

That’s what I’m trying to say. Sorry, been splitting wood all day.
I know, just agreeing
I had confused myself lol
The Federal government is always trying to grab lamd that belongs to ranchers or the states. This man should NOT lose his land because the judges did not act.
Every government official that violates their oath of office IMMEDIATELY becomes the DOMESTIC ENEMY described in their very oath. This may be the only way to repair things:
Yeah? Don’t try unless you want to lose
That article is a giant pile of nonsense.
Imagine that…… I’m shocked.
Well hell I didn’t know Obama and Hillary were that old lol
