Tyranny is on the rise. The Democrats, and I would not be surprised if the GOP establishment want this too, are trying to silence the majority of America, the Conservatives. When the government is lawless and fails to obey the highest law of the land - the U.S. Constitution - then we should disobey unjust laws. The Tea Parties should do everything under the table. Declare nothing. Time to take the fight underground. Democrats are working hard to make sure conservative groups are silenced in the 2014 midterms. President Obama and Democrats have been at great pains to insist they knew nothing about IRS targeting of conservative 501(c)(4) nonprofits before the 2012 election. Theyve been at even greater pains this week to ensure that the same conservative groups are silenced in the 2014 midterms. Thats the big, dirty secret of the omnibus negotiations. As one of the only bills destined to pass this year, the omnibus was—behind the scenes—a flurry of horse trading. One of the biggest fights was over GOP efforts to include language to stop the IRS from instituting a new round of 501(c)(4) targeting. The White House is so counting on the tax agency to muzzle its political opponents that it willingly sacrificed any manner of its own priorities to keep the muzzle in place. . . Treasury is also going to great lengths to keep secret the process behind its rule. Cleta Mitchell, an attorney who represents targeted tea party groups, in early December filed a Freedom of Information Act request with Treasury and the IRS, demanding documents or correspondence with the White House or outside groups in the formulation of this rule. By law, the government has 30 days to respond. Treasury sent a letter to Ms. Mitchell this week saying it wouldnt have her documents until April—after the rules comment period closes. It added that if she didnt like it, she can file suit. The IRS has yet to respond. Mr. Camp has now authored stand-alone legislation to rein in the IRS, though the chance of Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) allowing a Senate vote is approximately equal to that of the press corps paying attention to this IRS rule. So that puts a spotlight on newly sworn-in IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, who vowed during his confirmation hearing to restore public trust in the agency, and now must decide whether to aid in a new and blatantly political abuse of IRS powers. The White House is using the agency to win an election this fall. They gave the proof this week.
