...the solution lies not in a further “crackdown” on political speech by erstwhile tax authorities, but in taking the power to regulate speech away from those authorities....

Figure the odds, professor.

They have gotten away with it so many times recently, they don’t care what anyone thinks. Congress is pretty much impotent. They don’t even make a loud noise about this. They should be getting in front of cameras everyday and speaking up.

Someone needs to investigate the FBI and see if they’re doing the same as the IRA - targeting conservative.

I suspect they are... and that’s the real reason they’re not doing crap on this issue.

My comment on the NRO:

This is what your state-assigned Obamacare Navigator will think, but not say, when you finally reach her on the phone. (Remember, she will have your ACA/NSA/IRS file from the data-hub on her screen.) “This jive honkey was a member of the tea party! And he for real thinks his wife is going to get that operation? Hah! Good luck with that!” Welcome to the USSA, comrades!

Not me. If I were King for a day, I’d replace the income tax with the FairTax and abolish the IRS!

Best you love your effing government, because they sure love effing you!

I hope the Institute for Justice — one of the country’s leading libertarian law organizations — sues their asses off.
