***They list court imposed penalties and the sanctions for the Tax Lawyers who argued no need to pay taxes, etc.***

I used to pay some attention to this issue back in the 90's. What I noticed is that the defendants tend to lose these cases, not on the foundation of the tax law, but on the basis of the members of the jury having paid faithfully for years and they were persuaded that it would not be fair for someone else to be exempt.

Then, afterwards, the IRS would talk up the price of being a tax dodger - while everyone else was doing the right thing.

I don't advocate tax evasion certainly but one wonders if someone not in jeopardy may one day attempt to shed light on this issue. There has always been questions about whether that amendment was properly voted on.

That is the sad/criminal thing. In a fair hearing these arguments may have merit. But in a court room full of people whos salaries and pensions are paid for buy this, no one will get a fair hearing. And any lawyer who dares try will get pounded to let all the others not to go there.

I think the question is whether Tennesee voted for the amendment within the time frame?

If someone successfully challenges it they would have to have a lot of money for lawyers. The IRS does.
