futop,
The link you posted is correct.....The district courts of the US have exclusive jurisdiction in revenue cases...because according Benedicts Admiralty all revenue cases in the US are in admiralty altho they take on a civil nature.
If the notice of Federal lien isnt accompanied by a warrant of distraint filed in US District court....it's bogus and one can file the Libel in Review to make a restricted appearance to challenge its validity.
I dont believe the Florida SC has jurisdiction to enact such a writ as iamfree is attempting. Appropriate venue would be federal district court. I've attached a doc obtained thru the SavingToSuitors group on yahoo. Lots of great research and info on that file!! Kudos to David Merill and Lewis for their efforts!
