    It is granted the power to create tax law and the power to pass any law necessary and proper for the execution of any power granted under the Constitution.

    Let's look at how the first and the fourth amendments might apply.
    AMENDMENT I

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Taxes aren't religion, the press, a peaceable assembly or a petition for a redress of grievances. That would mean you are claiming freedom of speech applies here but Congress only can't abridge freedom of speech. It says nothing about privacy of a document provided to the government. You would have to argue that somehow by looking at a tax return Congress is forcing a citizen to speak in a manner they don't wish to. The citizen is no longer in control of that document when it is given to the government under the power to tax. It is not a speech issue at all. The law actually states Congress can't release the document to the general public without the citizen's consent. The only issue here is which branch of the government can see the document the government possesses. That is hardly a free speech issue. The law is what controls who can see the document and prevents its release to the public. The law clearly states Congress can look at it if they request to do so.

    As for the 4th amendment :
    AMENDMENT IV

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


    There are a couple things about trying to apply this. First of all the document in question is not in the control of the person. It has been submitted to the government. Secondly, Congress can't charge anyone with a crime. They can certainly submit something for prosecution. It is when prosecution is a possibility that the 4th amendment would come into question. Prior to that most courts would probably say since there is no threat of prosecution there is no reason to apply the 4th amendment to a document that the government already possesses.

    It was not a threat.

    WRONG. Fallacy fallacy. The fact that the FBI is in the executive branch makes a requirement that he be interviewed by the FBI rather irrelevant.

    Actually, it does. He has the choice to not be interviewed by his own department.

    WRONG. It is not granted the power to create tax law. It is given the power to lay certain taxes. It is also restricted in how those taxes are levied. They cannot tax one group and not another. Note that it required an amendment to authorize taxing incomes.

    No court has the authority to change the Constitution of the United States, dude. Consensus is not a valid method of changing the Constitution of the United States either. Obviously, you don't care about that document and what it says.

    He's far too fucking stupid to understand something even as black and white as that law is.

    I like this part:

    (g)Disclosure to President and certain other persons

    (1)In generalUpon written request by the President, signed by him personally, the Secretary shall furnish to the President, or to such employee or employees of the White House Office as the President may designate by name in such request, a return or return information with respect to any taxpayer named in such request. Any such request shall state—

    (A)the name and address of the taxpayer whose return or return information is to be disclosed,
    (B)the kind of return or return information which is to be disclosed,
    (C)the taxable period or periods covered by such return or return information, and
    (D)the specific reason why the inspection or disclosure is requested.

    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    The Internal Revenue Code does not override the Constitution of the United States, dude.
    Being required to file the returns is in and of itself a violation of the 4th and 5th amendments.

    Your response is argument from incredulity. Just because you don't believe it does not make their claims false. Their claim is well laid out and reasonable. One need only apply Occam's razor.
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/25/polit...aid/index.html

    Irrelevance fallacy. Having a gun in the house does NOT warrant a pre-dawn raid of that sort.
    If those serving the warrant think the person may harm themselves or others they will conduct a no knock raid. They will also do that if they suspect evidence may be destroyed.
    https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclope...-behavior.html
    (There is no such thing as an "irrelevance fallacy. Repeating that claim doesn't make it so. Until you can point me to a credible source for such a fallacy you are simply resorting to argumentum ad nauseam.)

    No, you are making an argument out a straw man.
    A straw man requires I misstate your argument and then attempt to defeat it. I was defending my statement by providing more details after you didn't believe me. Hardly a straw man.
    Sure, buddy. Sure. You really believe that too, doncha?
    argument from incredulity

    It was not a threat.
    That is your conclusion. It was not the way it was taken by others.

    A logical fallacy is an error in logic, just like an error in math. Logic is a closed system, just like mathematics.
    I hope you aren't as bad at math as you are at logic.
    4 <---- a number but not math
    2+2=4 <--- math
    The media reported it as a threat. <---- Statement of fact. While this could be seen as a premise it isn't a conclusion on my part so it can't be a logical fallacy.
    You don't think it was a threat <----- a conclusion on your part so it could be a logical fallacy.

    Yes there is. There is no 'official list' of fallacies. An irrelevance fallacy is the use of irrelevant information to form or support an unrelated argument.
    There are many lists of fallacies. What you are referring to is actually called a relevance fallacy.

    Not the reason for the fallacy, dude. You were bringing up an irrelevant point. You have lost context here. This portion is done.
    If I have lost context it would actually be a red herring fallacy. But I didn't lose context. I was responding directly to your statement and pointing out you were begging the question when you claimed Clinton was let off easy for her crimes. I asked you to show us her crimes. You failed to do so and still refuse to do so. That would make my question very relevant to your failure to support your argument.

    Yes. I listed them.

    I already did. Pay attention.

    Public record, dude.
    No. The public record is here...
    https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/pr...-e-mail-system
    "No charges are appropriate in this case." That would mean there are no chargeable crimes.

    You don't want to discuss anything about special treatment. You want to nitpick.
    Pointing out facts that directly contradict your opinion is hardly nitpicking. It goes straight to the heart of the matter.

    Just because you claim something is false does not make it false.
    No. It doesn't. That is why I post how to find the information that supports what I am saying. You still haven't posted anything in support of your claim that Clinton committed crimes.

    Argument by repetition fallacy.

    I am not repeating the claim. You repeat yours though.

    Irrelevant. This has nothing to do with the predawn raid or why it happened.

    Fallacy fallacy. No red herring or redirection was attempted at all.

    Not a fallacy in all cases, dude.

    So what? It's his choice. He doesn't have to be interviewed by the FBI.

    So what? Irrelevance fallacy. It has nothing to do with her crimes.

    WRONG. Fallacy fallacy. The fact that the FBI is in the executive branch makes a requirement that he be interviewed by the FBI rather irrelevant.

    Actually, it does. He has the choice to not be interviewed by his own department.
    You really have no clue how fallacies work. Argument by repetition requires that no support be given but a statement just be repeated. If support is given it can't be argument by repetition. Not addressing a specific statement but bringing up another topic is a red herring. It is an appeal to ridicule when you don't support your argument at the same time.

    How can Congress lay taxes if they can't create tax law? You do realize your argument is idiotic, don't you?

    Making an accusation without evidence is not providing a redress of grievances, dude.
    That statement doesn't even make sense. If they made an accusation without evidence and then jailed the person without a trial one could make an argument they did not provide an avenue for redress of grievances but there are other amendments that would take precedence at that point.

    It is, but it doesn't have to be.

    Under duress. Submitting such information under duress violates the 4th and 5th amendments in and of itself.
    Irrelevant piffle. Submitting tax documents in no way violates the 4th and 5th amendment. There is a rather long history of people trying to make that claim to avoid taxes. Some of them have spent time in jail for making such frivolous arguments. Many have avoided jail time for their ignorance but they still paid taxes and penalties.

    If they accuse someone using evidence gathered illegally, or using no evidence, they are violating the constitution.
    Let's examine this. If someone is accused without evidence then the person doing so violated the Constitution. Would you agree that is the essence of your statement?
    If we accept your statement at face value it leads us to a couple of things.
    1. You accused Hillary of committing crimes but have provided no evidence in support of that claim even though you were asked to do so. That means you have violated the Constitution.
    2. Trump has accused certain persons with the FBI of crimes but provided no evidence in support of his claim. That means Trump has violated the Constitution. Trump took an oath to uphold the Constitution. What do you think we should do about his failure to uphold the Constitution?

    No, they cannot submit that information.

    That is why they cannot submit such information to the prosecution.
    More irrelevant piffle. You are assuming a conclusion that hasn't happened.

    No court has the authority to change the Constitution of the United States, dude. Consensus is not a valid method of changing the Constitution of the United States either. Obviously, you don't care about that document and what it says.
    I never once said a court has the authority to change the Constitution. This would be a good example of a straw man on your part.
    Since the government has the document they can't be accused of seizing it from anyone else. There is no fourth amendment case based solely on possession of the document. There can only be a case based on the law which restricts who can see the tax returns. In the case of the law, it is quite clear that Congress can request to see it. If the tax return leads directly to a prosecution then a 4th and 5th amendment argument could be made because it would no longer be moot.

    Being required to file the returns is in and of itself a violation of the 4th and 5th amendments.
    Then take it to court. Whoa, how much you want to bet that it already has been?

    But then, try answering a couple of questions.

    1. What crimes do you think Trump is trying to hide by not releasing his tax filings?

    2. Have you ever not filed a tax return?

And from such people turn away"

    Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary [of the Treasury] shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure."

    Articles 4, and 5, do not apply since Trump filed the returns, and it he lied, which he more then likely did, he has already incriminated himself.
    Problem is friend that's not an article or amendment to our Constitution. Read amendment 4. Congress cannot make any law that overrides any article or amendment in the Constitution except by an amendment. Your post contains NO amendment to the Constitution!!!!!

    No, it isn't. It is based on a hatred for Trump and anyone associated with him.

    Sorry dude, you can't justify a predawn raid like that using what if's and circular arguments.

    Yes there is. It is making irrelevant arguments. Depending on the context, it may also be referred to as a non-sequitur fallacy, a strawman fallacy, a redirection fallacy, or a red herring fallacy.

    WRONG. A strawman argument requires no such misstatement. It is simply a redirection to an irrelevant argument and defeating it.

    No, you weren't. You are not defending anymore except your own illiteracy.

    Also math. The addition binomial is also defined by the axioms of mathematics.

    Try English. It works better.

    Nope. That does not make it a fallacy.

    False authority fallacy. There is no official or authoritative list of fallacies.

    No, it simply means you have lost context. You are losing more and more context as you concentrate on showing off your illiteracy in logic and math.

    Not the context. Try again. I am not begging any question with this statement either.

    I did.
    Quote Originally Posted by Poor Richard Saunders View Post

    Void argument fallacy. You can't even describe what the heart of the matter is anymore.

    Don't need to. Anyone can look it up.

    Ridiculing another's argument is not a fallacy in and of itself. Counter-arguments are real arguments.
