Paying taxes is painful… but reading about them shouldn’t be.

To no one’s surprise (except Murphy’s counsel), the Supreme Court denied cert in Murphy v. IRS, 493 F.3d 170 (D.C. Cir. 7/3/07).
Counsel for Ms. Murphy has indicated that the process has been political – you can read the press release here.
You know that I’ve had my say about Murphy – read up if you wish.

Hey, you didn’t hear it from me. I’ve sworn off commenting on Murphy, remember?
I’ve said my piece on Murphy – and argued with opposing counsel. I’ve posted my mea culpa.
I’ve updated regarding Murphy’s petition for rehearing and the subsequent rejection of that petition. I’ve also referenced the Ninth Circuit’s decision not to address the 16th Amendment issues in Murphy.
So I’m about Murphyed out. Apparently, Murphy’s attorneys are not (read into that whatever you want – I don’t even want to think about the amount of legal fees in this matter).
Rather than comment on the latest bid for cert at the Supreme Court, I’ll send you over to TaxProf blog for this great piece from December 2007 and the follow-up from today.

See, you thought that I was going to bring up the Murphy case. Again.
But no. TaxProf blog is reporting that the Ninth Circuit in Polone v. Commissioner, No. 04-72672 (9th Cir. 10/11/07), aff’g T.C. Memo. 2003-339, expressly refused to “address whether amended § 104(a)(2) violates the Sixteenth Amendment.”
Just saying.
