I see, then on Jefferson's words written prior to the Constitution, we should discard the Constitution, overthrow the government instituted under that Constitution, for a law that is Constitututional because we as individuals do not like it and are too lazy to throw out the rascals that support said Constitutional though disagreeable law.

You cannot sit there and honestly say that the government we have today conforms to the US Constitution and the writings of those who wrote it.

I didn't state that at all.

I do however maintain, where taxation is concerned, folks are barking up the wrong tree if they expect the courts to be in their camp or change how we are taxed except through legislative and/or Article V action.

OTOH The court(at the USSC level) is still open to defending 2nd amendment rights and clamping down on extensions of the Commerce Clause(refer Lopez decision).

For the first time in many decades we have a condition where the USSC will haveaddress the 2nd amendment issue head on with circuit courts maintaining diametrically opposed position and ripe for USSC intervention.

You figure it's time for physical revolt? I don't and I don't intend support those that do. There is alot left to be attempted before that time arrives.
