AG Hunter Argues 'Richardson Lacks Standing To Challenge Revenue Bills'

7/2/2017

Comments

 
  In the state's response to the supreme court, AG Mike Hunter tells the high court that Gubernatorial candidate, Gary Richardson should not be allowed to challenge whether the half billion dollars in new taxes, ... get this...

Because he currently does not owe the taxes, personally.

  This unprecedented action to raise over a half billion dollars in revenue in ways that violate no less than 3 constitutional mandates; is being challenged for the sake of each and every current and future resident of the state.

  But Hunter; with a straight face; says that only a person who buys a car can then file a court challenge to the unconstitutional taxes.

​ Never mind that the state will impound that car before the court can even hear the oral arguments. The impounding will happen with 30 days after the sale, because the temporary tag will then expire, making it illegal to even park the car in the driveway.

  A $50k outfitted full size SUV will get hit with $625 in additional taxes due immediately, in order to get a license plate. The state refused to grant the car buyers a stay. This means that the court is making Oklahomans pay a tax even though there is a valid argument to throw out the tax sometime later this summer. 
  Defiant Oklahomans may revolt and not pay the additional tax, but tag agencies will refuse to issue the plates unless every dime is collected. This would result in police confiscations and citations which are not constitutional. The Oklahoma Supreme Court is setting up a potential crisis by not granting the stay.
In other news,
  • Justice Colbert recused himself from the court in this matter. We are seeking further explanation.
  • Justice Edmondson agreed with Richardson's request for a stay.  Seven others opposed the stay.
  • Jerry Fent added his support to the Richardson cases. He formally added his name to the suits.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
