Court Dismisses Lawsuit Against IRS Over Targeting

Everything is fixed, there's nothing to see here...

WASHINGTON -- A federal court dismissed two lawsuits against the Internal Revenue Service Thursday, ruling that the tax agency is no longer targeting conservative tax-exempt groups for greater scrutiny.

"Unless an actual, ongoing controversy exists in this case, this court is without power to decide it," U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton ruled, dismissing one lawsuit brought by True the Vote, a conservative vote-monitoring organization.

..."ruling that the tax agency is no longer targeting conservative tax-exempt groups for greater scrutiny."...

So if Sam isn't killing someone right now, he gets a pass on the ones he's already murdered?

Yeah, I don't get that either. Someone got a phone call, and that phone call said "you can write up an excuse on why the case can't go forward, or you can write your own epitaph."

I have proof of IRS wrongdoing. It's on one of these harddrives that just crashed. That's good enough, right?

Exactly. The IRS has quit hitting True The Vote in the face so True The Vote no longer has a beef against the IRS.

They quit hitting them dammit.

What part of quit don't you understand?

Government protects government. It creates double standards for itself. One of the reasons given by the judge for not allowing personal liability is the 'chilling' effect it would have on tax collectors.

Heaven forbid the tax collectors were scared of having to pay for their own screw-ups. I'm not a lawyer or expert on the law, but what exactly is the basis for arbitrary bits of information such as this that influence decisions? We aren't allowed to make this ruling even if it makes sense because we think the results are scary or bad.

That's not law. I'm sure there's some BS explanation that basically amounts to because the government says so, though.

Tax collectors SHOULD be scared shitless day and night! They should quake in their boots that someone nearby finds out what they do! Not a one of them should get a good night's sleep any day of the year and on 4/15, they should have to stand guard to make sure the populace doesn't burn down their houses.

I believe in this case, this actually DOES explain a lot.
