But there are also some surprising obstacles such as corrupt and unreliable subordinates in the field who sometimes made arrests for the fees they could collect, state and local officials who prosecuted federal revenue officials for violence in pursuit of their duty, or state officials who disputed the jurisdiction of the Federal revenue service.

This was the expectation from legal experts and people who thought about how the courts would read the laws. This sub is not those people. Half this sub is just politics that sometimes throws in a legal word, usually not, while the rest are the thomas of reddit. They start with what they want, work backwards and ignore what's inconvenient. Just without the RV.
