Military Housing Allowance Much More Limited Than Clergy’s
Probably the main reason that I just had to write about this case is the reference to JROTC. My own experience with the program clearly demonstrated that I was ill-suited for any sort of a military career, but I do have very fond memories of the instructors who were among the more colorful members of the faculty. It was a very trying time for them and the country. Having a Jesuit high school be military was not at all disconcerting throughout most of history. Ignatius Loyola had been a soldier after all, but in the late sixties a few blocks north of Greenwich Village, it was rather odd.
Kuretski – Was Legal Dream Team Really Trying To Help The Taxpayers?
What strikes me more than anything about this drama is that it is hard to see how it could be helping the taxpayers. Judge Srinvasan noted that there has never been an instance of a President removing a Tax Court Judge. Judge Robert Wherry Jr., the Tax Court judge who decided the Keretski case was once accused of falling asleep during a trial, but the notion that the threat of President Obama reaching out and firing him over how he decided a collection due process case seems really silly. Were the attorneys really maintaining that was a real potential influence?

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
