"[Defendant] Stahl's claim that ratification of the 16th Amendment was fraudulently certified constitutes a political question because we could not undertake independent resolution of this issue without expressing lack of respect due coordinate branches of government...."

[U.S. v. Stahl, 792 F.2d 1438 (1986)]

This case was a major scandal for the Federal appellate court.  The defendant Stahl presented credible evidence that the 16^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was fraudulently claimed to have been ratified by the Secretary of State, Philander Knox, in 1913.  The court refused to deal with the issue and ignored all the evidence presented.  Instead, they said it wasn’t their business to deal with the issue.  Congress said the same thing.  This leads to the conclusion that there is a federal judicial (as well as a Congressional) conspiracy to protect the income tax.
