The past 7 years have made the Nixon administration look good on an ethical basis.

[5thGenTexan]

I want no President to wield that type of power. It makes them a tyrant.

Apparently you are OK with tyrants you agree with.

[MeganC]

The judges said that the lawyers acted in bad faith? Then how do we go about getting those lawyers disbarred for their malfeasance?

[digger48]

Also from the opinion...

I feel like the government is doing everything it possibly can to make this as complicated as it possibly can, to last as long as it possibly can, so that by the time there is a result, nobody is going to care except the plaintiffs.

What government does best

[Mark17]

Which year is this scheduled for?

In the year 2525. Zager and Evans. 😡

“The folks at the top of the IRS....” You should always go outside of the system to seek satisfaction.

[Thibodeaux]

the IRS politicos are running out the clock

Lois must get the needle

[null and void]

You owe Jaws an apology.

[nomorelurker]

Yes Nixon never did anything close to this but was run out of office. Hillary, Lerner seem to be able to skate. In the next few weeks, not months we will see if “the rule of law” means anything. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE.

[Flick Lives]

You got it! ;-)

[Don Corleone]

Now make them enforce it against an administration that refuses to play by any but their own Marxist rules.

[Lurker]

So who has been jailed for contempt?

[Eleutheria5]

‘til she was fifteen, she kept her virginity. Not a bad record for this here vicinity.

[disclaimer]

LOIS LERNER TRIES TO BARGE INTO NEIGHBOR'S HOME TO DODGE JOURNALIST...and is unwelcomed

[MarvinStinson]

That would be nice.

And how about adding Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch.

[VTenigma]

My favorite movie monologue of all time.

[Hoodat]

The judges ordered the IRS to quickly turn over the full list of groups it targeted

This is nothing more than a repeat of the initial order (which the IRS is already ignoring). And the practice is still ongoing. There are groups that have been waiting six year now for the tax status they are legally due, but the IRS continues to stonewall.

I suppose during WW II you would have dropped flowers on Nagasaki and Hiroshima and then immediately parachuted down for a hug? You suffer from magical moral thinking.

[justa-hairyape]

And the audits of conservatives ?

[GOPJ]

“The lawyers in the Department of Justice have a long and storied tradition of defending the nation’s interests and enforcing its laws — all of them, not just selective ones — in a manner worthy of the Department’s name. The conduct of the IRS’s attorneys in the district court falls outside that tradition,” Judge Raymond Kethledge wrote in a unanimous opinion for a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

It's hopeful... some small gesture attempting to slow the rapid course of the country becoming a hellhole ...
