What a shock. President Obama will veto the Stop IRS Targeting of Political Beliefs Act introduced by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI). Therefore we can conclude that Obama supports the IRS in its targeting of conservative groups.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp’s (R-Mich.) Stop Targeting of Political Beliefs by the IRS Act, which was in the Rules Committee on Tuesday evening, would freeze the finalization of the rule for one year and restore the 501(c)(4) standards and definitions that were in place before conservative groups started to come under extra scrutiny in 2010.
Shortly after the Rules Committee meeting began, the Office of Management and Budget issued a statement warning that the administration “strongly opposes” the bill, which has 66 co-sponsors. …
In passing the bill out of his committee earlier this month, Camp said it’s inappropriate to be rulemaking when the probe into IRS targeting isn’t even complete.
“We need to finish our investigation into the IRS’s abuses and receive the Inspector General’s final report,” Camp added. “This legislation will ensure that Treasury does not rush to put this rule into effect, which it can do as soon as the end of this month, and can process the over 23,000 public comments already received.” That had climbed to more than 70,000 comments by today.
Citizens United warned Friday that it’s ready to go to court over all rules regarding spending by 501(c)(4) organizations.
Read the whole thing. Also note that liberal groups are also opposed to the proposed IRS rule as they’re aware that it can just as easily be used to silence them.

The dog and pony show continues. I have a bottle of champagne waiting for the day when We The People veto Obama and the IRS at the same time.
