If you read my post more carefully, I don’t believe that most people in the sovereign citizen movement have a legitimate reason in declaring themselves sovereign citizens. The government’s persecution of Zimmerman, despite his unwavering adherence to the law, would give him ethical and legal legitimacy in doing so. Why obey a government which ignores its own laws?
Are you going to adhere to the “rule of law” if the liberals ever manage to pass through a law stating that the government is allowed to seize guns by force, and the Supreme Court upholds that decision? Would you be so eager to pay taxes if the government explicitly funded abortion, and removed the 1977 Hyde Amendment? (The 1993 expansion actually does permit funding for rape/incest abortions, and I don’t blame people who refuse to help pay for those.) If the EPA forbade you from using a lawnmower to cut your grass (and knowing them, they will definitely do this if they are allowed to), would you obey them?
There’s plenty of evidence that the 16th Amendment was passed illegitimately. Hopefully, you at least recognize that it’s unethical.
It doesn't matter if you think someone has a legitimate reason. There is no such thing as a "sovereign citizen". It's made up crap.
It doesn't matter whether you like the law. That's why it's the law. It's not voluntary.
