We The People have brought up concerning the legality of the income tax. Her response was to quote the 16th amendment. Kelley goes on to say that her senator also sent her a copy of CRS's Luckey Report. I'll bet that course was an eye-opener. All this also reminds me that one of the great worries of the founding fathers was a concern over sophistry of the courts.
Sophistry refers to deceptive and specious reasoning or argumentation.
Jefferson was especially critical. I know of no safe repository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform them. Jefferson embraced the concept of the jury as the great counterbalance of the people against governmental abuse. The vote of an ordinary person on a jury or a grand jury can overrule and offset the misuse of power by judges, constables, prosecutors, and any high-level government official. Educating Americans about the income tax laws will make them better jurors in future tax cases.
