From the article:

Cleta Mitchell, a campaign finance lawyer who has worked on behalf of Tea Party groups probed by the IRS, said that the comments prove that Democrats want the IRS to stop their political opponents.

"These things should be totally unrelated, had the IRS not put itself in the position of doing the bidding of people like Chuck Schumer," Mitchell told the Washington Examiner.

"It's just further evidence, in my opinion, of ... how the IRS is carrying out the directives of the Democrats in Congress and the White House, that the IRS has just become the enforcer for the Democrats, and that [Schumer] feels perfectly comfortable conflating campaign finance and political activity with something that the IRS is going to do to intimidate donors," Mitchell said.

People still have to vote.

And if America votes to “paralyze government” then the citizenry has spoken.

“Schumer said. “A small number of people who really want to paralyze the government are just being given such huge disproportionate weight, but the average citizen who doesn’t follow it in detail says ‘government just doesn’t work’ and that is terrible for our democracy.””

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., argued Wednesday that the Supreme Court's latest campaign finance decision makes the threat of an IRS investigation into 501(c)(4) groups less of a deterrent to Tea Party donors.

He actually admits this and the idea is treated like it's a bad thing? Am I reading this right?

One would be hard pressed to find a more corrupt and evil politician in the US than SCUMer.

What Shumer and Reid won’t tell you that this decision also permits Democraptic donor to give more money to the Democraptic Party. It is not “a pro-republican only” decision. They will probably rake in really big bucks this month.

Schumer's middle name should be "Odious". Never has a man more thoroughly epitomized odiousness than Chuck Schumer. Utterly despicable, self-serving, dishonest, and reprehensible to the core.

On the other hand, overpaying public employees, compelling them to pay union dues, then receiving big union campaign donations is just fine.

if they can make a sensible decision on this, how come they don’t strike down the individual limits too

WHY can’t I donate more than $2K to anyone I want????

There should be only one campaign finance law- FULL DISCLOSURE. You must tall who donated to your campoaign and how much. And if you fail, THE CANDIDATE goes to jail, not the donor. (unless it is an illegal donor, then he goes to jaild too)

The GOP political establishment appears to be onboard with using the IRS to suppress Tea Party organizations. Which probably explains why a special prosecutor hasn’t been appointed by the GOP majority in the House of Representatives.

OK, Schmukie, I’m tired of you hiding behind lies. You should actually say what it is that you REALLY want: ALL who oppose you in “re-education” camps. C’mon, you chicken$hit, say it.

I. DARE. YOU.

The purpose of the IRS isn’t to intimidate.

This fascist needs to be removed from power.

If you really want to “get the money out of politics” you first have to get the politicians out of every single aspect of our lives that they’re currently meddling in.

The more a politician tells you they care about you and want to “help” you, the more they want to control and bribe you.

The Dems are outraged because they are used to buying votes and believe that this will put them at a disadvantage. Besides, it will make the funneling of tax dollars into their campaigns more difficult to hide.
