You're correct, Houston does NOT have the legal authority to enforce IRS 501-C3.

Post-88 explains that, and the "master plan" that I believe Houston's Mayor has charted.


Undoubtedly, the Houston Mayor's strategic plan is to "nuke" these churches, as follows:

1) get the Houston City Council to pass LGBT legislation

2) use that issue as "a baited trap" to spark church opposition

3) gather "solid evidence" against all these churches (spys, sermons, etc)

4) ask the IRS to prosecute these churches

5) the IRS will decline (the Mayor knows this)

6) Mayor files lawsuit (targeted to the SCOTUS) for strict IRS enforcement

7) SCOTUS agrees with IRS 501-C3 "federal contactor status" ... as they did with Bob Jones University in 1973

8) Checkmate.
