Speaking of IRS I want justice for the use of IRS as a political weapon. I agree with you. Judicial Watch is uncovering plenty of evidence of what would constitute a conspiracy if it was anyone but the federal government doing it.
A few weeks ago, I proposed a "Accountability in Government Act". The gist of it:
- If a court finds misconduct by a government agency and orders them to act, or act differently, then the responsible employee(s) shall be suspended without pay for 1 year, or terminated completely and forfeit all benefits -- depending on the severity of the offense.
- This Act shall supersede any clause of a collective bargaining contract. In other words, there's no appeal to a review or disciplinary board that will just rule in favor of the employee.
- The employee's only defense is proof of a superior's contrary order. And, that proof shall invoke the consequences of this Act against the superior. Political appointees would not be exempted.
- Destruction or non-retention of evidence would be considered proof of misconduct. And, invoking the 5th Amendment would be grounds for immediate termination.
As a result, I think you would see a lot of employees telling their boss: "put it in writing, please". And that alone will impose a chilling effect on outlaw behavior.
