Cabell v. Chavez-Salido, 454 U.S. 432 (1982)

The State cannot challenge the appellees' lack of familiarity with local laws or rules. Such a consideration might disqualify nonresident citizens, but not permanent resident aliens who have lived in California for much of their lives. Nor can the State presume that aliens as a class would be less loyal to the State. The Court's rulings in In re Griffiths, 413 U.S. at 726, n. 18, and Hampton v. Mow Sun Wong, 426 U.S. 88, 111, n. 43 (1976), clearly state that one need not be a citizen in order to swear in good conscience to support the Constitution. When these appellees applied for their jobs, they expressed their willingness to take such oaths. One later declared his intent to become, and then became, a citizen. See [454 U.S. 463] 490 F.Supp. at 985, n. 2. Finally, the State cannot claim that, by enacting § 1031(a), it seeks to encourage aliens to become citizens. That objective is an exclusively federal interest. Nyquist v. Mauclet, 432 U.S. at 10-11.

Matt. 5:33-37, Bible:

  33 "Again you have heart that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.'

  34 "But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

  36 "Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

  37 "But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

26 U.S.C. §6065: Verification of Returns

TITLE 26 > Subtitle F > CHAPTER 61 > Subchapter A > PART IV > § 6065
§ 6065. Verification of returns

Except as otherwise provided by the Secretary, any return, declaration, statement, or other document required to be made under any provision of the internal revenue laws or regulations shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury.


History of 26 U.S.C. §6065: Requirement for Oath or Affirmation on Tax Return

We have the Federal Register documents that clearly articulates that an "Oath"  Shall not be used on tax returns for Individuals, but the BS jurat can under 26 U.S.C. § 6065, but therein lies another problem in that 26 C.F.R. § 1.6065 for jurats for the IRS has no statutory authority at the bottom and it isn't listed in the Authorities tables for part 1 to have the force and effect of law.  

But at the bottom of the current 26 C.F.R. § 1.6065-1, it does reference in  "[ ]" (information only) that you should look at 25 FR 12108 of Nov. 26, 1960.

 In 25 FR 12132 (T.D. 6500  of November 26, 1960), which is a substantive regulation under the statutory authority of Congress, we find the following, to wit:

Start quote

================

§ 1.6065 Statutory provisions;  verification of returns.

SEC. 6065.  Verification of returns --

(a) Penalties of perjury.  Except as otherwise provided by the Secretary or his delegate, any return, declaration, statement, or other document required to be made under any provision of the INternal revenue laws or regulations shall contain or be verified by a written declaration that it is made under the penalties of perjury.

(b) Oath.  The Secretary or his delegate may by regulations require that any return, statement, or other document required to be made under any provision of the internal revenue laws or regulations shall be verified by an oath.  This subsection shall not apply to returns and declaration with respect to income taxes made by individuals.

===============

End quote

The problem is that the section (b) was taken out of the code in 1976 on October 4 (PL 94-455) and then on October 18, 1976 the unsworn declaration Code magically appeared of 28 U.S.C. § 1746, no NEW substantive regulation authority for 26 C.F.R. § 1.6065-1 has been put up for the mandatory comment period and made into a new statutory authority.

In the 1 FR 1859 of November 14, 1936 the verification was ONLY by Oath, to wit:

Start quote

=================

ART 51-4.  Verification of returns. -- All income tax returns must be verified under oath or affirmation.  The oath or affirmation may be administered by any officer duly authorized to administer oaths for general purposes by the law of the United States or of any State, Territory or possession of the United States, wherein such oath is administered, or by a consular officer of the United States.

=================

End quote

Then in 1943 the unsworn declaration was used with no mention of the Oath by the notary, etc.

So the real question is that this is confusing to you - right?

The only regulations existing  today that is substantive to mandate the use of the jurat of unsworn declarations  is 26 C.F.R. § 1.6065-2T as listed in the current  Part 1 table of substantive regulations, but it doesn't exist today.  The "T" means "temporary" only of the "2T", supra.

26 C.F.R. 1.6065-1 exists today, but the IRS tyrants have hidden the authority by not listing it in the Part 1 table of substantive authorities or at the bottom as some of the substantive regulations do, but only listing the 25 FR 12108 of Nov. 26, 1960 in brackets at the bottom with no mention that all substantive regulations are mandated to use "Authority" and then the disclosure with the applicable Code section following.

 So again what is the importance of this?  It lies in the fact for YOU to swear an Oath as being sworn in as in court that the 1040, etc. or by using a notary public for the 1040 under the penalties of perjury as just "true and correct"  puts you in the correct VENUE and Status under the protections of the 5th Amendment to not give evidence against yourself and this CAN NOT BE COMPELLED.

But in the Land of Oz, you can as the fictional status of a  "citizen of the United States" use the Unsworn Declaration and you have NO 5th Amendment protections secured in the Federal Constitution. 

 To have the two different issues side by side is UNBELIEVABLE of the Oath and Unsworn Declaration.  I have known for a long time that the unsworn declaration was BS and the Feds use this all of the time on their pleadings, but I could not prove it, but now mister IRS agent, DoJ attorney or judge, will you compel me in open court to swear under Oath or under the use of a Public Notary in and for one of the several States concerning the 1040 that everything is true and correct?  In fact mister impostor judge, I would like you to personally mandate that I be sworn in under Oath right now and I demand that you do the swearing in of me in open court on the issue of the 1040 being true an correct and that you ORDER me to swear that the all of the facts and the 1040 is true and correct under the penalties of perjury.

 Also in the 26 C.F.R. § 602.101 for the OMB numbers  under the Statutory Authority of 7805 (at bottom of regulation above the [ ] TD stuff and to meet the requirements of the PRA, we find  for the regulation 1.6065-1 is for ONLY for corporations, being the form with 1545-0123.

 You can't be compelled to give evidence against yourself and this is the reason for hiding the "Oath" of the substantive regulation of 1960 - 25 FR 12132.

This probably seems quite confusing to most, but I will address it later today or tomorrow when I have more time and attach some of the documents for the special list.
