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.

`Next move, well let me tell you it will be finding another place to live and ranch once the feds take his property and sell it free and clear to someone else. He will soon be on the outside looking in at what he once had. Game over man.
I would like to see more detail instead of an overview.
why were there no details of the case sited??? and treason is when aide and abet the enemy!!!
A very good read and maybe some understanding of just how crooked the federal government is and how long it’s been that way
Bombshell? More like another dud. Since principles such as eminent domain exist, any belief that the government does not have compete control over the land is a fallacy.
The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States.
There are 3 branches of Government. Something needs to be done by the other branches to reign in the Supreme Court’s seemingly endless authority.
The Founding Fathers tried to establish a federal government system that gave the majority of power to the States, because they feared an overreaching Federal government. They were correct. That is what happened and continues to happen. It is most imparative that we use the time of this administration to return to that.
The first step to returning power to the States is to reduce the power of the Federal government. ConstitutionofStates.com talks about the Constitutional power the Founders gave us for amending the Constitution WITHOUT Congress and the Courts. Article 5 Convention of States would allow State legislatures to implement totally legal Constitutional amendments such as balanced budgets and term limits for Congress and the Courts
What bombshell? This is nothing new, the government stopped obeying the constitution decades ago. People have done nothing about it so the continue to get more and more flagarant about it.
Who appointed these “judges” should be included in article(s).
