Here's the kicker...
We're done folks...someone turn out the lights on the way out, please.
quote:
Judge Reggie Walton of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia threw out almost all counts brought against the tax-collecting agency in two cases, ruling that both were essentially moot now that the IRS granted the groups their tax-exempt status that had been held up for years.
Here's the kicker...
quote:
The judge, appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, also said the groups couldn’t receive monetary relief from individual IRS officials, such as ex-IRS official Lois Lerner, because of the chilling effect it would have on tax administration.

Only hope is a republican administration jumping on it before the statute of limitations runs out on the crimes.

It's NOT fricking moot. These groups were prevented from participating in the 2012 election to the same extent as their liberal opponents.

That should be worthy of a removal from the chair.

Federal employee protecting the feds pocketbook by denying a lawsuit that has merit, because it might open up Pandora's box on the federal treasury.
Seems this judge has a conflict of interest here.

So in other words, if I go and vandalize, say a Federal Judge's house, night after night, for weeks, and then I finally stop, I can't be prosecuted because I've stopped, right?

This is like putting the money back in the cash register after someone got caught robbing the convenience store and the judge letting them go.

Maybe some lawyers can weigh in on this, but since this was a civil suit, wasn't the judge's only potential remedy to "make them whole"? If they have already been made whole, what outcome was the other alternative?

Translation: The IRS is far too important to ever be held accountable for its own actions. All citizens are equal, government agencies are just MORE equal...
