Constitutional followers my ass...you yourself don't follow the 16th amendment.

I've already proven for a
FACT that the 16th amendment wasn't legally ratified and is thus not a part of the constitution.
Allow me to direct you to Article VI paragraph 2 of the constitution which states...
Quote:
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
|
Which means no part of the constitution may be added that is contrary to any of the rest of the constitution. The 16th amendment goes directly against the main body of the Constitution which says...
Quote:
No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.
|
That alone makes it unconstitutional. But given the fact that there weren't even close to the number of votes required to pass the amendment since many of the states violated their own state constitutions when voting on the matter and changed the language of the amendment before signing it.
It's unconstitutional also because it violates the 13th amendment and the 5th amendment. But we've been through this. There is no doubt what-so-ever that the 16th amendment
IS NOT part of the constitution.
I'm a strict constitutionalist.

I'm not a member of any cult. But those who want to discount what others are doing accuse them of being in a cult. For instance some religions call themselves religions but discount other religions as "cults".

You need to listen to Radar more, he's the foremost scholar of the constitution, whatever he says is so.

Not what I say, what the Constitution says. Not what I want it to say, or wish it said like many of you, but what it really says in black and white. And you're correct about me being a constitutional scholar.
Quote:
Until a court decision says otherwise, the 16th amendment is. No amount of documentation, fact-finding, personal statements, etc. matters until the courts say so.

Court decisions don't mean shit. The highest law in the land is the Constitution. Not what the courts claim the Constitution says, or what case law says. There need not be any court case regarding the 16th amendment. And there won't be one since the corrupt Supreme Court won't hear it.

So you're saying you don't know shit.
