A speed bump on the road to thievery

Quoting from the decision (Schulz v. IRS, Case
No. 04-0196-cv),

"...absent an effort to seek enforcement through
a federal court, IRS summonses apply no force to
taxpayers, and no consequence whatever can befall
a taxpayer who refuses, ignores, or otherwise
does not comply with an IRS summons until that
summons is backed by a federal court order…[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."
...
The court went on to say that the federal courts
are there to protect taxpayers from an
"overreaching" IRS, and that the IRS must go
through the federal courts before force can be
applied on anyone by the IRS to turn over
personal and private property to the IRS.
...
The paragraphs above begin a press release that
will be sent to thousands of media outlets and
influential individuals across the nation over
the next several days.

Just a speed bump on the road to thievery.

Expect a new shell game from ur eeelected officials.

"Overreaching"?

How much theft is not "overreaching"?

How can you assure that that amount remains the
same once you've selected it, if you could?

How many judges do you think will give the IRS
a court order to avoid an audit?

Who has the power in that scenario?
