On Tuesday 80 million people called into So You Think You Can Dance to vote for America's favorite dancer. In two months, 511 people signed the petition to end the income tax and preserve the 1st and 5th Amendments; 400 or so letters were sent to Congress/the news media regarding the issues; no person or group filed an amicus brief. On November 30th the Supreme Court denied Benson's petition for writ of cert. On December 3rd, the Hirmer petition for writ of cert was filed with the Supreme Court. On December 14th, the government, as it did in Benson, filed a response stating they waived the right to file an opposition to the petition, as it did in the Benson case. To date, no one and no group has filed an amicus brief in the Hirmer case. Jeffrey A. Dickstein Attorney at Law 500 W.
