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.

Such c**p
I would be interested to know who proclaimed this site to be f**e news. Would that be the same “fact checkers” that just happen to be of the liberal persuasion? The fact of the matter is the federal government is limited by the constitution as to the land they are allowed to own. As was quoted in a previous comment it is the 10 square miles that make up D.C. And all other “needful” buildings such as armories, ports, post offices, etc. In 1830 Thomas Hart Benton successfully sued to have the lands in what was then the western states turned over to the states. It took him many years. The problem today is we have no one willing to take on this task on behalf of the now western states. It needs to be done.
If you don’t believe me research it yourself. Go ahead, find this case. If it is a real case filed in federal court it should be easy to find. I looked and from what I can see this case doesn’t exist.
Every article from this page is either at least half wrong or completely f**e.
High time for Article 5.
Michael Walsh Actually the Federal Government is VERY limited in what it can own .
and please note it says CONGRESS not Executive shall
http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec8.html
To make it easy here is the direct section
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
If I don’t like something I don’t have to accept it.
The government created BLM because they hate cowboys? I’ll have what he’s smoking.
your clueless.
