Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service should be used more aggressively to keep Tea Party funding in check, explaining that this would help “weaken” and “exploit” the conservative movement.
Schumer during remarks to the Center for American Progress argued that Tea Party groups have an unfair financial advantage over left-leaning groups because of the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, at one point even suggesting that President Barack Obama go around Congress to impose stricter campaign finance laws.
“It is clear that we will not pass anything legislatively as long as the House of Representatives is in Republican control, but there are many things that can be done administratively by the IRS and other government agencies — we must redouble those efforts immediately,” Schumer said.

I hear a typical anti-American Democrat advocating the use of a US Gov't agency to harass citizens, circumvent the Constitution, defy the Supreme Court and foster tyranny.

A pure communist and never a patriot. Should be taken to the nearest tall oak tree and hanged for treason. What's his problem with U.S. citizens??
ReplyDeleteIf the U.S. Constitution is such a problem for him why can't he just simply move to a country with "better" laws that suit him?
