The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia found that the tax agency’s promises of reform and cessation of “Be-On-The-Lookout” targeting of conservative groups’ applications for tax-exempt status were not satisfactory and, therefore, True the Vote and others should not have had their cases dismissed by lower courts as moot. If the IRS elects to not seek a full appellate panel hearing, the case will be sent back to the trial court for further discovery regarding their claims of civil rights violations.

True the Vote Founder Catherine Engelbrecht hailed the decision in a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas.
