Our Governor - Pete Ricketts, a Republican - caved and said “The Court has decided, and I’ll will obey the Law.”
I called his office and asked the staffer what law the Governor was obeying? I asked her “exactly what legislation was passed by both Houses of Congress, and signed into law by the President?”
She could not answer me, other than to say that the SCOTUS had decided the law ... I replied, “No, the SCOTUS just MADE law - big difference”
So she fell back on the same fool response of “Well, Governor Ricketts will obey the law”
So, I told her, “OK, then tell the Governor that I will not be filing a state tax return, nor will I obey any other state statute regarding anything to do with same, as I refuse as a matter of conscience, to advance the cause of evil.”
She replied “Then you will be breaking the law” ..
I finished the call by asking her to tell Governor Rickets - a supposed Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus - that he is a moral coward; and he is culpable in committing, and compelling others to commit, mortal sin.
So, there it is - I have neither filed a 2014 Federal, nor a 2014 Nebraska State tax return - and, under the present circumstances, I will not ever again be doing so. Let the chips fall where they may - but me and my household will stand with the Lord of Hosts.
They must still be laughing at your call. Case law IS law.
Soon you will go to prison for not filing taxes and admitting it on a public forum. I’ll contribute to your defense fund. Just keep us informed.
I strongly encourage you to file your returns and balance your tax obligations. You’re fighting an indifferent machine that will eat you alive.
The real battle front is unfortunately limited to the voting booth. So get the tax monkey off your back and instead work the votes.
