True the Vote Appeals, Asks Court to Rein In IRS Targeting

True the Vote, one of the conservative nonprofits targeted for intrusive scrutiny by the IRS, filed a notice of appeal Thursday signaling it will ask judges to throw out a lower court’s ruling that found the IRS’s targeting had already stopped, and tossed their case.

The group, however, says there’s no evidence the IRS has changed its behavior. They want the courts to impose an order forbidding targeting in the future.

“The IRS targeting scandal is not over and neither is our effort to seek justice in the federal courts,” said Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote.

District Judge Reggie Walton ruled in October that the IRS had stopped its targeting and had granted True the Vote its charitable organization status, so there was no longer any actual injury to True the Vote or most of the other tea party groups that had sued the tax agency.
