by setting up 501c3’s that are doing political activity,

uhhh....that's exactly what the Citizens United ruling told them that they were ALLOWED TO DO!

And how is that any different than what has been done by Soros, Planned Parenthood, labor unions, etc.

As I understand it, there are two different types of organizations being talked about: 501(C)(3) organizations and 501(C)(4) organizations.

The 501(C)(3) types are not allowed to engage in partisan political activities while the 501(C)(4) can do so, as long as such political activity is not the organization’s primary mission. My understanding is that the IRS scandal involves the 501(C)(4) types.

Is my understanding correct or have I misunderstood something here (entirely possible)?
