Pelosi: IRS problem stems from court ruling
[WASHINGTONTIMES] House Minority Leader  Nancy San Fran NanPelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... said Monday that the IRS should be condemned for targeting conservative groups for special scrutiny in the run-up to last year's elections, but she also blamed the Supreme Court for opening the door to broader political activity. She really is dumb as a bag of hammers... In the Citizens United decision, the court ruled 5-4 that corporations have First Amendment political rights and ruled that while they cannot contribute directly to candidates, they can run ads making their own views known. Mrs. Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, said that has become a problem for the IRS in enforcing the laws. "There needs to be more clarity in the law regarding the activities of tax-exempt organizations along with greater disclosure and transparency. We must overturn Citizens United, which has exacerbated the challenges posed by some of these so-called 'social welfare' organizations," she said. She also called for "appropriate action, without any delay or hesitation" to make sure the IRS is playing fairly. Posted by: Fred 2013-05-14 |
