  Letter written to Robert Schulz of We The People Foundation For Constitutional Education, Inc. from Bill Walker
That basic policy is Congress may ignore any directive of the Constitution imposed on it by the word "shall." In short, Congress or any agency created by it is not bound by the Constitution.
Clearly if Congress is now in complete control of the amendatory process, it certainly possesses the power to determine whether an amendment regardless of its ratification history, or even if it was ratified at all as in the case of the 14th Amendment, is an amendment to the Constitution.
Congress has chosen not to obey the Constitution and thus prevents the repeal of that amendment.

 WorldNetDaily: Inside Oklahoma's 16th Amendment lawsuit
A: The amendment allows Congress to impose a tax on income, which the Supreme Court of the United States had held to be "property." There's a 1959 case called Simms vs. United States, and the Supreme Court said in that case that income is property.
Now in reference to ratification of the 16th Amendment, there was a report that was generated by the legal counsel for the secretary of state back in 1913 and the legal counsel acknowledged that a state -- when it ratifies an amendment -- must absolutely correctly quote the 16th Amendment.
If Congress isn't going to respond to the will of the people and if the people themselves are reaching a conclusion that is borne out by the facts that Congress is, in fact, unrepresentative of the people and beholden to special interests, then the people have got to do something.
