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.

The writer of this article doesn’t know any more about the law or the facts in this case than the rancher seems to know about which court has jurisdiction over what claims. In any event, the writer did not provide sufficient information on which any reader can base an informed opinion about the merits of the rancher’s claim. The article is gobbledy-gook, intended to draw eyeballs to the ads. Click the hyperlink referencing “the law” supposedly supporting the petition, and you’ll get an ad instead.
Who is Surprised? Ave imperium
Lets see,…. “100 years of Constitutional Treason”, Lets blame it on Obama !
Josh Baynard Thorin had a good point about the story. There is no statement or opinion surrounding any constitutional clause that bars the government from making laws to enforce taxation. I agree that we have some problems. The solutions would seem to require some specific argument other than “I know you are but what am I”.
… The Earl Warren Supreme Court began a policy of throwing out legal precedent on which the Supreme Court before relied upon to maintain the rule of law, conscience and consistency… Now it is not about morality or truth… it’s simply about ‘winning’… and that’s the legacy of an Activist Court approach.

The founders warned about just this thing—-the corruption of our courts.
Were the court to have honestly(constitutionally) it would have exposed the ongoing fraud of the federal government’s exercise of jurisdiction it truly does not have within the territorial boundaries of any state. To the extent that the federal government is extremely limited in it’s jurisdiction, EVEN with it’s many ABC agenies I invite those interested to read the federal government’s OWN law regarding various agency’s alleged jurisdiction and WHERE it only exists UNLESS specifically authorized by a separate law drafted;
4 USC 72
“All offices of government shall be exercised in the District of Columbia and not elsewhere, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.”
4 USC, Sect. 72, which is positive law, mandates that all offices are restricted to the “District of Columbia and not elsewhere” unless Congress “expressly” extends their granted authority to other geographical areas by United States law.
Wow.
*sigh*
Oh, look. It’s b******t click bait based on broad assumptions designed to get a bunch of people pissed off at courts that have done nothing illegal.
Lmfao… Trump will just replace “their” thrives with his own thieves.
