tax protest case goes to trial

[Marvin [GodfatherofSoul] Bellamy]

I wouldn't be so hard on the guy.  This is obviously a statement he's 
making, and I don't think he expects to win.  Give him some credit for 
having the cajones to try.  Lawyers and judges affect the legal system 
in a way that guarantees their job safety.  Heck, a lot of the time 
decisions are made based on favor-swapping between attorneys.  A sad 
profession indeed.

I'll try to dig up those resources on the "income tax is illegal" 
argument.  Let me know if anyone has a lead.
