In an unanimous ruling, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the rules — requiring tax-return preparers to pass an initial certification exam, pay annual fees, and complete at least 15 hours of continuing education courses each year — went far beyond what Congress had ever authorized.
Law Blog earlier reported on the origins of the dispute, which trace back to the post-Civil War period.
To crackdown on fraudulent claims against the government for dead and missing horses and other property lost during the Civil War, Congress passed what became known as the Horse Act of 1884. It authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to regulate “agents, attorneys, or other persons representing claimants before his Department.” Today, that statute is codified under Section 330 of Title 31 of the United States Code.
Not a one from South Carolina good.

Well my friend you already know the answer to that one.
Just the first time in 4 years I’ve been able to visit the Lounge. Feels good to be back.
He already is. Why do you think Obama is able to just walk over him and/or ignore him? :)
A lot has changed sadly.
No doubt. I almost feel like a visitor to my own country. Mark’s podcast has been my best source of info on what’s been happening.
Howdy
Hey Stonewall....how’s everything going?
Sounds like our states are hitting home runs.
Good how about you?
Not bad. Been in the D.C. area for a couple weeks for school and this is the first time I’ve had to get online in the Lounge.
Great being able to hear Mark live for the first time in a long while.
