Next time do your own research instead copy and pasting some propaganda and taking it as fact
I think you need to do a bit more research on your own

Nobody is contesting the Constitution. The issue is over "whatever source derived" where lawyers appear to be claiming the "source" is specified in tax regulations (foreign investments, interest blah) but they are unable to find any law passed by Congress which would apply to the average US citizen. When asked, the IRS are unable to point this law out and avoid the question.
