Great link, fren, but USA Today implies a mistake itself: actually, Lowell and Larry is the same Becraft, and this copy of the memo has no misspelling "Bercraft".
The data on the 16th amendment was collected by Bill Benson, who found material irregularities in every state's ratification of the 16th amendment, but the courts' position is that these irregularities are like many others that do not detract from the intent of the law and legislators. So, what Becraft calls a dead issue.
Either way, 16th Ammendment suits are now considered frivolous and dismissed without further consideration. Properly ratified or not, the state now depends on those taxes, and will happily kill or cage any squeaky wheels in their money machine.
