That's a fine argument. The Constitution wasn't followed when the 16th was implemented!

In that case...the 2nd Amendment wasn't ratified, either, by the criteria demanded by the "Law That Never Was" crowd. Hell, the entire Constitution was never ratified.

Or do you believe the amendment was lawfully ratified?

Yes. Do you believe that the CONSTITUTION was ratified?

Yes, the 2nd was ratified along with the other nine amendments of the BOR. The "criteria demanded" wasn't established by "the "Law That Never Was" crowd", it was demanded far earlier than it ever came into existence.
That "crowd" is just calling the dealer on his three card monte.
Do you believe that the CONSTITUTION was ratified?
Yes, I believe the Constitution was ratified. In fact, it is historical fact that it was ratified. Kind of hard to refute that. It is also historical fact that the 16th wasn't, though many wish that it weren't so.
See heel for instructions and use the lavatory. You've pissed yourself.
