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.

I don’t like BULLIES.
The rancher’s mistake was in thinking we were operating under the constitution.
Its a meaningless word these days. Everyone for you is a hero, anyone not is a traitor.
B******t. Ask those crazy kids in Waco and Ruby Ridge, or anyone who has hd their land taken by eminent domain, or owes the IRS money just to name a few.
They do for somethings. For one they will use eminent domain to build that damn wall. They also have juridiction if a federal crime has been committed or if someone is evading taxes…which will increase to pay for that wall and to control riots over that damn wall.
Thats what we are afraid of. We want our pres, who runs the Federal Govt to take less action, not more…what are you, some kind of liberal?
Just National Parks? Damn. Where we gonna put all those soldiers?
Tell that to the FBI and the IRS and the Coast Guard.
Why you gotta be a spoiler? This is one of my few entertainments seeing people huff and puff.
And GW Bush. He was so busy with wars he didnt actually change anything Clinton did. All Obama did was fine tune it and add Obama care.
