Seems like various career managers at IRS could be arrested and imprisoned on the afternoon of January 21 at the latest.

IMHO ...this mess doesn’t go away until We the People pull it out by the roots.

That means......no funding. Nada. Zip. Zilch. So the rats and squirrels can eat the stuffing out of the empty chairs.

You have to pass it to find out what’s in it...

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. Socialists are criminals.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850

Plunder and death...it's how socialists roll...over "free"/s people

DEFUND socialist collectives (especially Obamacare), foreign AND domestic. DEPOPULATE lying, con-artist socialists (especially Obama) and their enablers from the body politic and your life.

Everything about socialism is sham and affectation. - Frederic Basiat 1801-1850

After that it's easy to...

...live - free - republic/Americans

BIG government IS crony socialism. (witness history and current events)

[Robert A Cook PE]

But it doesn’t matter whether it (this particular IRS rule) is legal or not.

The NYTimes, WashPost and Obama’s ABCNNBCBS “WANT” it to be legal.

Therefore, it IS legal.

...

By the way, if the Roe vs Wade ruling making abortions legal (claiming that no government can interfere with a “private” doctor-patient relationship or decision) IS “legal” moral, ethical, and “constitutionally correct”, then how can the Obamacare decision be upheld FORCING a government panel and government funding into EVERY healthcare decision and healthcare treatment?

“The IRS should rescind this rule before it takes effect in 2014.”

Good luck.

I’m still not convinced that it was actually ruled “constitutional”.

The net decision being that Congress CANNOT do it under the Interstate Commerce Clause.
But Congress COULD do it if they call it a “tax”

AFAIK, the statutes were passed and they call it a PENALTY, not a tax.

The statutes as written do not conform to what the Supreme Court said about Congressional power...

I think they gotta take it back to the drawing board, the SC has ruled in the past that statutes dealing with taxes have to be STRICTLY construed.
