Justice: It's not often that
the victims of IRS abuse find satisfaction, but the Tea Party groups
mistreated by the tax collector will get a shot. Maybe next will be an
audit of the IRS — which apparently hasn't changed its ways.
On Tuesday, Day 978 of the unresolved IRS scandal, a federal judge granted class-action status to as many as 300 conservative groups that have been affected by the agency's practice of unduly scrutinizing small-government organizations that sought tax-exempt status but which the IRS saw as dangerous dissidents.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Dlott's ruling also opens the door for other groups who believe they have been harmed by the IRS to join the suit. We hope the piling on is heavy.
Maybe legal trouble from the suit will teach the IRS, because it sure seems it hasn't learned so far. Americans for Tax Reform, citing Government Accountability Office reports, suggested Wednesday that the "IRS may still be targeting conservative groups."
