Well. What do you think of this?

[nuffsenuff]

Sweet

[Politically Correct]

It's a very small step in the right direction.
But if you think that we'll ever get to the goal.......I have a bridge to sell you.

[Revelation 911]

A U.S. appeals court has ruled the IRS cannot compel taxpayers to turn over personal and private property without a federal court order

how strong is the leg that earned income is "personal and private property"?

[Renegade]

Could this have helped Al Capone in any way ????

[NC28203]

Could this have helped Al Capone in any way ????

Or how about the NAACP?

[jsmith48]

Does this ruling only apply to certain areas, like the homemade machinegun situation in the ninth circuit?

[TIElniff]

Thanks for the correction.

How can the fruits of your labor NOT be 'private property'?

[Revelation 911]

well, thats what I was getting at - I can picture someone making the argument that unless it is court ordered, they dont have to pay

[Citizen Tom Paine]

I would like to read what someone familiar with the law says about this ruling.

More nonsense from Bob Schulz.

Does anyone doubt that judgments will now be accompanied by federal court orders?

Federal judges can issue federal court orders.

irs bump for later read

[longtermmemmory]

actually the process will probably be turned over to Federal Magistrates for the inevitable notice and hearings.

Somehow I imagine cases that get that far are not too common.

[sinkspur]

People who don't respond to IRS summonses are simply going to shell out more money for legal fees in cases they will inevitably lose.

But, Bob Schulz will get rich off tapes and cassettes and books, bought by gullible people who think that they, somehow, don't owe any taxes.

[Bikers4Bush]

Nice.

[headstamp]

I guess the NAACP has nothing to worry about now.

[Mr. Lucky]

He's putting lipstick on a pig.

The Court ruled that, because IRS summonses are universally recognized as having no legal significance, Mr. Schulz presented no justiciable issue to the Court for consideration when he asked that a summons be quashed.

This appears to be the result argued by the IRS and is actually something of an erosion of taxpayer rights in the 2nd Circuit which had, in a case 40 years or so ago, permitted taxpayers to challenge IRS summonses.

Which will require the hiring of more judges......and more taxes to support them.
