Get Ready for Obamagate!

I am not a tax lawyer, but my understanding is that the IRS is responsible for issuing the non-profit 501(c)4 designation, which the Citizens United ruling opened the floodgates on. There are restrictions on how political these organizations can be, but they can be to some extent. So several IRS offices apparently used "tea party" and "patriot" as key words to extend the process and ask for donor lists. As this happened before the 2012 election, some people are a little upset about it, "chilling effects" has been tossed about. Nixon used the IRS against his enemies, so this is a bit of a sensitive subject. Popcorn time.

The AP is pissed because the Justice Dept now has the phone numbers of all of their confidential sources. Maybe this well get the press off their butts about the Constitutional abuses of the executive branch now that it's their bill of rights being violated.
