Court sides with IRS in tea-party targeting scandal

Lois Lerner directed the IRS during the tea party targeting scandal and famously "lost" her emails.

========================
 
Rule of law?  Forget it.

A federal judge has sided with the Internal Revenue Service and dismissed lawsuits by tea-party groups seeking redress for the secret targeting of their applications for tax-exempt status, which the groups argued were intentionally delayed for political purposes.

The tea party organizations immediately announced they would appeal the decision by Washington, D.C., District Judge Reggie B. Walton, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush.

Walton ruled that two lawsuits by Texas-based True the Vote and Linchpins of Liberty, along with 41 other conservative groups, were moot because the IRS took steps to address the scandal and “publicly suspended its targeting scheme.”

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law & Justice, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of the tea party groups, said he plans to appeal the case.

    The Jewish resistance of WW2 didn't succeed (to the degree that it did) by pleading and going to Nazi courts. In war, don't fight by the enemies "rules".

    There is very little justice in our legal system. Most Judges are, themselves, criminals.
