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.

Brandon Smith. This have any merit?
It might be unconstitutional but it isn’t treason (at least not per my understanding). It does seem that lawyers and courts follow the “might makes right” philosophy…… and they really don’t give a damn about proper law interpretation and enforcement – very pesky.

And this is why we need the Convention of States Project…
That. Is true
George Avery Territories not States
Amid all this confusion, it is clear to me that we need more common sense conservative constitutionalist judges on the supreme court
By whom, the liberal media?
I try to do just that, but some judges are appointed and those are the ones overstepping judicial powers and legislating from the bench
