So explain please, how this amendment is not legal again? You mentioned that it wasn't legally ratified. For those people that are completely ignorant, please provide sources.

36 votes were required to pass the amendment, but most of the states you've listed violated their own state Constitutions by voting on the amendment with the same senate that recieved the proposed amendment. Most states have a provision that says if an amendment to the Constitution is proposed, the senate who recieves it can not vote on it because they must allow the people one election cycle to choose who will vote on the amendment. So those states are gone. Next many of the states actually re-wrote the proposed amendments (sometimes to mean the exact opposite of what it proposed) before signing it and sending it in. This is also not allowed. So those states are out. Some states actually voted against the amendment and their votes were tallied as voting for it by Philander Knox (the man who illegally and fraudently ratified the amendment).
In the end there were not even close to the required number of legal votes to legitimately ratify the amendment.
Feel free to do some reading. Bill Benson actually travelled to all of the states who supposedly voted to ratify the amendment, searched their archives and actually got certified copies of all the documents in question and proved without a doubt that the 16th amendment was not legally ratified.
Feel free to read his extremelly large and comprehensive books "The Law That Never Was - Vol I" and "The Law That Never Was - Vol II". You can find it at:

Of he states you listed as ratifying the amendment here's just a few examples that prove my point...
- The Kentucky Senate voted upon the resolution, but rejected it by a vote of 9 in favor and 22 opposed.
- The Oklahoma Senate amended the language of the 16th Amendment to have a precisely opposite meaning.
- The California legislative assembly never recorded any vote upon any proposal to adopt the amendment proposed by Congress.
- The State of Minnesota sent nothing to the Secretary of State in Washington
Even if there were only one of these, it would mean the amendment hadn't been legally ratified.
