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.

Government overreach at it’s greatest.Time for people to wake up. Convention of states rise and be counted. We stand by and watch ranchers be murdered. When do we start valuing constitution.
Total nonsense
The government are nothing more than legalized crime.
I hope that President Trump will make the court follow their own law. What this court is doing is illegal. Should be another Bundy standoff.
F**e news
So let me get this straight, the federal government has no authority over the US? Hmmm so I guess the supremacy clause has no validation in the constitution? And then the wording also suggests that the justice department would have no ability to prosecute any case in court….that whole concept is counter to the purpose of the judicial branch as it was designed.
Land ownership does not make you your own sovereig state. There is still accountability.
Unbelievably outrageous
Treason to the Confederate Constitution, yeah.
This is interesting. I’ve been studying the 14th amendment and the act of 1871 making the United States of America a corporation. It seems to be where the birth certificate(printed on bond paper) social security numbers and all other permits like driving your vessel come from. Strawman!
CONVENTION OF THE STATES!!!! Let us sort this and many other messes out for good.
Trump looks like a tyrant
