1) IRS Defense Makes Statement So Outrageous Judge Asks “You Don’t Really Mean That, Right?”

IRS defense in the Z Street v. Koskinen case made such a shocking and absurd argument that the judges presiding over the case were forced to stop and question if the statement was in fact a mistake. The argument in question is that IRS truly believes they should be allowed to discriminate for nine months before anyone is allowed to sue them.

This isn’t a joke, the IRS blatantly stated that they believe their culture of discrimination towards religious and conservative groups should be allowed as part of their operating procedure.

The case in question, Z Street v. Koskinen involves IRS discrimination against the group Z Street solely due to that fact the group promotes pro-Israel education. The group applied for tax-exempt status in December of 2009, after seven months they had still not received any response from the IRS and subsequently contacted the IRS to inquire on the delay.

After Z Street was able to contact the IRS they were told that “auditors had been instructed to give special attention to groups connected with Israel, and that [the agents] had sent some of those applications to a special IRS unit for additional review.”

Obviously this was an issue as the IRS is not permitted to base decisions on viewpoint, religion, race, etc. Naturally, Z Street sued and the IRS has been fighting tooth and nail to prevent this case from being seen in open court ever since.

My Opinion: Just how far is this administration willing to go in illegally forcing its Marxist ideals on the rest of the nation? It is perhaps not a surprise that the IRS should demand it be permitted to discriminate against religious and conservative clients...
