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.

Ahhh. The worn out ignorant southerner stereotype mock, while showing your ignorance of actual history. Very original. Very witty.
No way! I would never guessed.
I hope President Trump puts some one in as AG that will fix problems like this, tired of the people getting the finger
“Constitutional treason” isn’t a crime under US code, and it certainly isn’t punishable by death.
They also legislated in the ACA case
Federal snatch and grab.
Everything about this article is a lie.
Are you in the US legally?
The Federal Government (and yes, that includes the COURTS) have been acting AGAINST the constitution FOR MANY YEARS and not just in TEXAS. This is why so many “politicians” say the constitution “evolves” or should be changed. Federal Government has taken over MANY areas of “governing” that rightfully BELONG TO THE STATES. The Feds appetite to CONTROL we citizens never stops growing!!!!!
Al Capone was SMALL POTATOES compared to Al Sharpton….where is the IRS on that case?
This will not be the first or the last time. The government keeps adding regulations on top of regulations till$#%&!@*gets so confusing and ends up contradicting the intended law. Hence results in a constitutional stalemate.
