Demands local jury trial
Former Yakima man sues feds after IRS takes his home in '95
YAKIMA (Wednesday 6-16-99)---A former Yakima man, Jim Russell, has sued Washington Senators Patty Murray and Slade Gorton, along with Vice President Al Gore, after the local IRS took Russell's home here in 1995.
 
The trio have so far not responded to summons or commented upon the suit filed March 19. The suit doesn't specifically ask for damage reparations.
 
If, however, the court acknowledges a bogus government has been operating since 1913, it would clear the way for Russell's demanding his properties back from ravenous feds. It would also undo every decision made by the world's most powerful government the past 86 years.
 
So far, the score is Goliath-all, David-zip. But the slingshot event is expected in weeks to come.
 
Russell's 23-page suit and supporting documents outline how states rights--and therefore his own--were usurped when in 1913 the U.S. Senate became popularly elected rather than appointed by state legislatures.
 
In his suit, Russell cites the Constitution's 17th Amendment for creating a supremely powerful central and socialist government which allows feds to apply illegal pressure on individuals while trampling their costitutional rights.
 
Russell believes the feds--including local agents of the IRS-- used this enormous power to take his 10206 Tieton Drive property--and other properties--from him and his wife in 1995.
 
Russell filed the case in Yakima County Superior Court because he trusts neither the feds nor federal courts. Superior Court has all powers needed to hear the case.
 
In his suit, Russell has demanded a 12-man jury trial, with local jurors who are aware they have nullification powers of which most persons are ignorant.
 
No Superior Court judge has been named to hear the trial, nor has a trial date been set, according to County Clerk staff.
