Like the people who quote the judge in the court case that said "the 16th 
amendment granted no new ability for the federal government to impose 
taxes." And then they dance all around saying "See? You don't need to pay 
taxes!"

The judge finished the sentence with "because the federal government already 
had and has always had the ability to impose income taxes. This amendment 
just (paraphrasing) adjusted how the accounting works."

People do the same thing with patents. "Look, a patent on peanut butter 
sandwiches! How stupid!"
