In perhaps what is to become a landmark case, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in Schulz v. IRS that the IRS cannot force a person to comply with a summons and give up his personal or private property absent a valid court order from a Article III Federal court.
The Appellate ruled further that "...[a taxpayer] cannot be held in contempt, arrested, detained, or otherwise punished for refusing to comply with the original IRS summons, no matter the taxpayer's reasons, or lack of reasons for so refusing." (emphasis added)
This ruling may prove to severely limit or even eliminate (in some cases) the IRS's daily routine of conversion of property (theft) by administrative notice (liens, levies, garnishments, etc.) without having first gone through an evidentiary hearing and securing a court order in their favor.
Isn't it about time that our 4th and 5th Amendment rights are honored as they should be?
