Federal income tax on citizens

1. Whether the tax may be enforced against a citizen without the government proving any nexus to that privilege, where the administrative record affirmatively shows no such nexus and the government introduced no contrary evidence? 2. Whether a court of appeals may affirm on a forty-two-year-old circuit precedent — Parker v. C.I.R., 724 F.2d 469 (5th Cir. 1984) — that attributes to Brushaber a holding Brushaber expressly rejected, while never citing, distinguishing, or otherwise engaging Brushaber, Flint, Howard, Denver, or the supervening unanimous decision in Moore, contrary to Rodriguez de Quiias v. Shearson/American Express', Inc., 490 U.S. 477, 484 (1989), Agostini v. Felton, 521 U.S. 203, 237 (1997) — and where the panel was warned in writing, before it ruled, that this was the error it was about to commit? 3. Whether any judicial remedy remains available to a citizen when lower courts decline, across multiple dockets and multiple years, to engage controlling precedent that this Court itself applied on the merits less than two years earlier, and the resulting petitions are resolved without explanation at every level? 4. Whether a court of appeals Clerk’s Office denies due process when it blocks a timely-transmitted petition for rehearing on a factually false and documentarily disprovable pretext, issuing no case-identified notice and no opportunity to cure — and whether the subsequent denial, without a word of explanation, of a motion asking a judge to recognize that the petition was timely filed cures that deprivation or completes it?
