Minor Lee McNeil v. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Governor of Arkansas, et al.

Arkansas, and most if not all other States, lay and collect direct taxes based largely on disparate property evaluations; with each State taxing their citizens own­ ership of Private property and earnings from labor, solely because of their possession thereof. Property or labor evaluations are not the constitutional basis for direct taxation. Fifth Amendment protections are elim­ inated by this practice. Arkansas also uses a bill of attainder to ensure tax collections by legislating for its Direct tax and enforce­ ment thereof, while imposing a penalty without judi­ cial involvement for non-compliance. With the exception of George Ticknor Curtis, in his article of 1866, it is believed that no writer can be quoted in support of the views advanced by Justices Fuller and Field in 1895, and used today to define di­ rect taxes. Whether a State can lay a direct tax that is vested in Congress, or operates differently from the appor­ tioned direct tax defined in the Constitution? Whether the citizen should know that the words “all legislative powers” in Article I, really means some (but not all) legislative powers ? Whether the rights and immunities regarding private property are protected by the vesting clause?
