Hmmmm, who to believe...

... USC or IRS talking points

I'll see your *partial quote* from the IRS's pile of marketing
bullshit and raise you additional, pertinent context from this case
that the IRS didn't bother to include (for obvious reasons):

"Defendant argues that the Federal Reserve Notes in which he was
paid were not lawful money within the meaning of Art. 1, ? 8,
United States Constitution. We have held to the contrary. United
States v. Ware, 10 Cir., [**7]
608 F.2d 400, 402-403. We find no validity in the distinction which
defendant draws between "lawful money" and "legal tender."

So, Steve, what is that distinction again? Hmmmm, what do you think the
terms "no validity in the distinction" mean? LOL!

HN6Go to
this Headnote in the case.Money is a medium of exchange. Legal
tender is money which the law requires a creditor to receive in
payment of an obligation. The aggregate of the powers granted to
Congress by the Constitution includes broad and comprehensive
authority over revenue, finance, and currency. Norman v. B. & O. R.
Co., 294 U.S. 240, 55 S. Ct. 407, 79 L. Ed. 885. In the exercise of
that power Congress has declared that Federal Reserve Notes are
legal tender and are redeemable in lawful money. Defendant received
Federal Reserve Notes when he cashed his pay checks and used those
notes to pay his personal expenses. He obtained and used lawful
money."

Note the judge's line which states:

"In the exercise of that power Congress has declared that Federal
Reserve Notes are legal tender and are redeemable in lawful money."

Congress made a clear distinction between "legal tender" and "lawful
money" so judges wouldn't have to do anything thinking about this
issue and get all confused the way you are.

The law passed by Congress was not suitable for this dishonest,
activist judge... here is his obvious contradiction:

"He obtained and used lawful money."

Hint: Neither partial quotes referenced on the internet version of
the IRS's talking points or bogus, district level case law (this
won't ever get to the SC, also for obvious reasons) supersede the
USC. That certain judges won't uphold certain laws is irrelevant to
what the law states. If you knew anything about the law you'd
understand that.

You're welcome.

LOL!


And this part is just as bizarre... see if you can figure out why:

"The Law: Congress is empowered "[t]o coin Money, regulate the value
thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the Standard of weights and
measures." U.S. Const. Art. I, § 8, cl. 5. Article I, Section 10 of
the Constitution prohibits the states from declaring as legal tender
anything other than gold or silver, but does not limit Congress' power
to declare the form of legal tender. "

How about you, gluehead? Wanna take a stab at it?

LOL!

Wow... this is tough:

On one hand we have you, a hate-filled troll who is trying to obfuscate your
current humiliations by bringing up debates from 2006 (through a sock, no
less) and who is clearly a whacko trying to redefine things to avoid paying
taxes... who cannot accept that once the gold standard went away the money
itself became money and not a deed of sorts for some gold (or other item)...

On the other hand we have the words of the government, the ones who control
the money flow, saying that those who try to make such distinctions are
incorrect.

While there may be some places where wording and whatnot is not as it should
be through the laws written over hundreds of years (gee, go figure), clearly
the intent of the law (and the meaning, as upheld by the courts) is that the
bills in my pocket is legal tender / lawful money and that there is no real
difference in almost all situations since the gold standard was dropped.

But that will all go over your head. And is rather boring. Better be real
exciting or make a new sock if you want to keep getting my attention on
this.
