In The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in the matter of UNITED STATES of America v. James A. STUART, Jr., No. 12–3471 on December 3, 2014; during opening and closing arguments during his trial on three counts of tax evasion for failing to pay almost $239,400 in income tax between 2005 and 2007, 26 U.S.C. 7201, Stuart’s attorney argued that he believed he owed no taxes. (Nice Try by Counsel but Really?). Stuart thought that the United States had no authority to tax income (Right #*!).

The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting an argument of ineffective assistance of counsel. (That is typical. It is not that the tax protester is a Criminal, but rather it was ineffective assistance provided by the attorney) Judge did not buy this argument either.
