Writ of Habeas Corpus

Congress is not authorized to suspend the privilege of obtaining a writ of habeas corpus except in cases of rebellion or invasion. The availability of such a writ makes arbitrary imprisonment much more difficult for police and jailors. When a jailor is presented with such a writ he must either release the prisoner or charge him with the violation of some standing law along with alleging some of the particulars by which the accused might begin the preparation of a defense. This ia a major protection of the liberty of the individual in the most rudimentary sense.

Estoppel by Acquiescence

The doctrine of "estoppel by acquiescence." This is a legal term with a precise meaning, specifically that I have given them numerous opportunities to respond to me in order to challenge my suppositions, and they have neglected, or otherwise failed, to respond. Their opportunity for response has passed, thus they have acquiesced to me -- an implicit admission that I was right all along. The result is that the IRS is now "estopped" -- they are prevented from acting against me on this issue. If they try to come after me on this issue again, I can re-assert estoppel in court, to prevent any attack or prosecution against me.
