Senate Democrats Block Sen. Paul’s Resolution Condemning IRS


Figures.

On Tuesday Senate Democrats declared they felt it wasn’t in the nation’s best interest to condemn the IRS for illegally targeting Tea Party and Conservative groups. Apparently the Senate does not believe in accountability. This is unfortunate for the American people given they are clamoring for it in the midst of numerous scandals with the IRS, Benghazi, the DOJ wiretapping AP reporters, and others.

This bill simply recommended an investigation of the IRS as well calling for the firings of the individuals found to be at fault for this unethical behavior.
Today, Senate Democrats placed a hold on Sen. Rand Paul’s recent resolution that condemns the targeting of Tea Party groups by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and calls for an investigation into this practice.
“This resolution is not about Republican vs. Democrat or conservative vs. liberal. It is about arrogant and unrestrained government vs. the rule of law. The First Amendment cannot and should not be renegotiated depending on which party holds power,” Sen. Paul said. ”Each senator took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, yet Senate Democrats chose to block my resolution and thus refused to condemn the IRS for trampling on our First Amendment rights. I am incredibly disappointed in Washington’s party politics and I am determined to hold the IRS accountable for these unjust acts.”

  1. Its official.The rule of law is out the window. This will have zero impact on better than 50% of the population. The ruling class has no fear of public opinion or losing elections. Too bad the fourth estate is actually a fifth column.
