Victory against IRS Discrimination!"No American should be targeted for their beliefs. We will not stop fighting to ensure that the targeting ends, that justice is served, and that the ... IRS is held accountable for its illegal and unconstitutional actions." -American Center for Law and Justice
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit unanimously reversed a 2014 lower district court ruling that previously dismissed the lawsuit originally filed against the organization in 2013. The federal court found that the IRS committed some "unconstitutional acts against at least a portion of the plaintiffs," including numerous conservative, Tea Party, and pro-life groups. Certain organizations were on "Be-On-The-Lookout" or "BOLO" lists where applications for tax-exempt status "were subjected to extended delay" and "were not receiving the same processing as those of other organizations," reports CNN. The IRS announced they had suspended the "BOLO" lists but, the federal court stated that the IRS' use of the word "suspend" indicated that it was not a permanent change. The court went on to say that even if the IRS did stop its discriminating practices, "it is absurd" to suggest the unlawful activity by the IRS has stopped "when two of the appellant-plaintiffs' applications remain pending." "We will continue pursuing justice for our clients," the ACLJ wrote on its website. "No American should be targeted for their beliefs. We will not stop fighting to ensure that the targeting ends, that justice is served, and that the Obama Administration's IRS is held accountable for its illegal and unconstitutional actions."
