Not at this time.

It means awaiting specific orders before proceeding.

Soon.

“At this time” is Obama-Speak for as soon as possible.

Just like “I am opposed to gay marriage” and the Affordability Act will save everyone $2,500.

Guaranteed at some point in the somewhat near future, the government will not only go after Christian entities tax status, but they will FORCE them to accept, teach, and support sodomite marriages.

We are going to find out who the faithful Christians are!

The constitution is currently not being followed. Therefore we don’t have a constitution.

Our federal government is a creation of the states. When this creation gets out of control, then the states have the right to abolish it or change it.

Besides the three branches of federal government that we are aware of, there exists a fourth branch which most people forget, it is the states. And actually, as mentioned above, this fourth branch has more power and authority than any of othe other three combined.

It is time for the fourth branch to assume it’s proper authority, and alter or abolish the other three.

Koskinen is a snake and a very smart one at that.....when he was being interviewed by the committee, he was almost like the devil himself in his clever answers - but then, so was Lerner.......

Don’t like calling people names, for that’s a liberal practice, but sometimes it’s just too true to avoid.......

"But Koskinen replied by saying that the IRS's action in the Bob Jones case was based on the fact that courts and states passed various anti-discrimination laws."

Not sure why *state* laws would influence IRS actions in this way, but Koskinen seems to be implying that the IRS would only target religious institutions if Congress adds "sexual orientation" to anti-discrimination laws.

If there's one good thing that might have out of the anti-RFRA hysteria from the left, it's that no red state or Congress (as long as it's controlled by the GOP) is likely to add "sexual orientation" to anti-discrimination laws.

But I fear that courts will start interpreting current anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation, even though no mention of it is made in the written text of the law. Then it will be a green light for the IRS to strip the tax exempt status of any religious organization that dares to oppose homosexuality.

I was under the impression that the Constitution and democracy were supposed to protect the citizens from the whims of small men.

I should have enjoyed myself when I was younger and not spent so much time reading and studying - because apparently most of what I read was wrong, anyway.

I’d like to know why Koskinan isn’t in prison yet for violating the rights of Americans.

Looks like his lawyer told him to smile more. That was bad advice.

Only the beginning. They will criminalize Christianity while Republican leaders stand by and do nothing.
