>> but there is not a right to be tax exempt and be able to keep your donors secret. It in fact is a privilege that should only be granted under very narrow circumstances. This is irrelevant. Totally. Because the law isn't at issue, it is the unfair application of the law that is subject to question, and whether it gave Obama an unfair advantage during an election, which it clearly did. It is entirely possible we would have had a different president had these organizations been allowed to proceed under the law that existed at the time of their applications. But IRS employees made pointed decisions to stop these organizations dead in their tracks by refusing to issue a determination within the appropriate time frame. >> an argument should be made that the ambiguity in the law should be eliminated by not allowing any political activities being tax exempt and/or keeping the donors secret. That's fine, if Congress wants to make such a law. They didn't and they haven't. It is not within the scope of IRS authority to decide to treat some applicants one way and others in a different way. Yours is a classic "straw man" argument.
