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.

The US government is not owned by the people, it’s owned by two major corrupt political parties who are owned by money. Namely the banks
Sorry but the court didn’t make law on lgbt marriage. All they did was clarify it.
Total b******t.
A shooting fight with the federal government would not only be perfectly justified, but totally within legal rights.
Unbelievable.
Most have never read our Constitution. It’s sad, because immigrants have to, to get citizenship. It says right in the Constitution that the working man does not pay taxes on their earnings.
Call Trump!!! He is for America!!!!
Federal Government is the problem….
They operate on maritime admiralty law, not constitutional law. Silence is consent and ignorance of the law, what ever version, is no excuse. For 150 years they have been at this. Since the act of 1871. This is when the United States ceased to be a sovereign nation and began down the road of legal corporation. Dear god someone PLEASE get a blacks law dictionary. Whenever a judge asks you if you understand SAY “NO”. As soon as you say yes trying to be cooperative, you have legally give the courts your permission to violate your rights.
Richele Kinney really? Only if the people have a clue and pay attention…. 99% of the people are cavalierly and willfully apathetic. You could ride that platform if it hadn’t died in 1871, or if the general public was in any way engaged in law making and the practice of making corruption of the law LOOK like noble patriotism. The fact is that as a nation we took it to the hair without even a complaint or question with the homeland security act and its revisions. The people have been absolutely derelict for 150 years! We put this ship on autopilot and went sunning on the deck so long ago that our great grandparents had already forgotten where the wheel house even is and every generation since has been absolutely fucking clueless. We wouldn’t know a violation of our rights if it hit us with a baseball bat. How the HELL is the government subservient to the people when everything we want, need or demand is utterly ignored?! The people stopped giving a$#%&!@*enough to make the government do a damned thing. Now we just crucify ourselves as helpless victims with useless mantras of how Uncle Sam doesn’t really care about us or other various laments of corruption. We qualify this submission with$#%&!@*like “what can I do, I’m just one person against the government?”. This is NOT the America we were raised to believe it is!! This is a hollow stripped down version of that America. The homeland security act cemented your utter absence of rights or recourse if the government snaps its fingers and everyone in this country dropped Trow, turned and bent right over for it…didn’t even question it like they were anxiously waiting to be fucked. We have a long list of hard jobs to do before this nation is even CLOSE to being run by the people. Cognitive dissonance addiction is the plague throughout this land and that takes many generations to accomplish.
