Lois Lerner: Problem
— Ace

A civil servant is neither civil nor a public servant. Discuss.

George Will drops a lot of information on this partisan Rage Monster.

As soon as the Constitution permitted him to run for Congress, Al Salvi did. In 1986, just 26 and fresh from the University of Illinois law school, he sank $1,000 of his own money, which was most of his money, into a campaign to unseat an incumbent Democratic congressman. Salvi studied for the bar exam during meals at campaign dinners.
He lost. Today, however, he should be invited to Congress to testify about what happened 10 years later when as a prosperous lawyer he won the Republican Senate nomination to run against a Democratic congressman named Dick Durbin.
In the fall of 1996, at the campaign's climax, Democrats filed with the Federal Elections Commission charges alleging campaign finance violations by Salvi's campaign. These charges dominated the campaign's closing days. Salvi spoke by phone with the head of the FEC's Enforcement Division, who he remembers saying: "Promise me you will never run for office again, and we'll drop this case." He was speaking to Lois Lerner.
After losing to Durbin, Salvi spent four years and $100,000 fighting the FEC, on whose behalf FBI agents visited his elderly mother demanding to know, concerning her $2,000 contribution to her son's campaign, where she got "that kind of money." When the second of two federal courts held that the charges against Salvi were spurious, the lawyer arguing for the FEC was Lois Lerner.
...
Lerner, it is prudent to assume, is one among thousands like her who infest the regulatory state. She is not just a bureaucratic bully and a slithering partisan; she also is a national security problem, because she is contributing to a comprehensive distrust of government.
...
The case against the NSA is: Lois Lerner and others of her ilk.

Pairs nicely with David French's ruminations on the tendency of those in an ideological monoculture to become ever more extreme in their ideology and their contempt for those who do not share it.

Rampant bullyism from someone who holds power, but shouldn't. Our government was never designed to accommodate this type of abuse.

Yet here we are. Nothing will be done to her. You can't tell me what she did was legal in any way.

39 Here's the thing - she won. By the time it was all over, he decided he's never going to run for office ever again. She won. The entire concept of sovereign immunity and the extension thereof to those acting under color of authority must, truly must, be revisited. Insty's been beating that drum for years for good reason. After all, even if suit could be brought for such actions, payment would come from the taxpayers, not from the persons who did this. There is no downside, none, to engaging in such actions.

I've pushed this in the last two dead threads that IRS is the weak point in the whole of this administration and the left's dominance of government. IRS is the least sympathetic of government agencies, nobody likes them, everybody fears them.

This should be exploited by the Tea Party organizations, the IRS should be flooded by applications which they will have to address quickly and fairly and any hitch should be made a big fuss about.

No need to panic, all the scandals are an opportunity to make hay while it shines, attack the liberal establishment and take over the GOP at the branch level, primary every Congressperson who is on the other side.

77 Civilization contains the seeds omits own destruction, and this is just another good example. If an eighteenth century citizen were to be dealt with by an American bureaucrat this way I imagine he or she would take direct, personal action. Horse whipping on the steps of the IRS? Tar and feather, followed by driving from town? Pistols at dawn in Rock Creek Park? It's hard to say what would happen then, but we know that what will happen now is nothing. Lerner will go scott free, and may even see her income expand. She certainly will never have to move out of town, hang her head in shame and be shunned in polite company. Too bad.

But having said that, nowadays everyone puts everything - and I mean apparently everything - on Facebook. Any conservative who even has a Facebook account ought to have his head examined. Why type in information that the enemy can use against you later?

After the JEF is no longer the executive, even if a conservative is ever the executive, how do we clean the bureaucracy? They will still be there, thowing a shoe in the works at ever turn. The only way to get rid of them is to get rid of the agencies I think.

Get rid of the IRS. Get rid of the EPA. Get rid of the Dept of Education. Get rid of the Dept of Labor.

The only way to fix it is to gut it.

Get rid of the IRS. Get rid of the EPA. Get rid of the Dept of Education. Get rid of the Dept of Labor.

I agree with all of this, but with one caveat: tell the people what comes after them.

It's great to say "get rid of the IRS!" but then you have to tell people, "Instead of a monstrous organization that forces the leviathan tax code upon you, the federal government will be funded through an XYZ tax, to be collected by ABC division of the MNO department. This transitionw ill take ### years and will be effective for fiscal year (insert date here)."

Instead of just "Get rid of the Dept of Education!" we have to say, "Education decisions and funding will remain with each state and will not fall under any federal oversight. This transition will take ### years."

The mouthbreathing masses need to have the world laid out in front of them like a map. Their brains can't make the mental leaps of logic it would take to figure out what a future without the Dept of Ed, or the Dept of Labor, or the EPA, or the IRS, or any other federal agency would look like. And frankly it's a good idea for US to know what that future can and WILL be. Otherwise we're just flailing around like an untied shoelace.

But trust is the sound of a grave dogs bark

trust is the sound of betrayal in the dark

trust is the sound of a souls last breath

trust is the sound of death

Give me your trust, said the King on high

Our nation shall triumph, our enemies die

Trust me to reign with a firm gentle hand

and peace will prevail in our land

But trust is the scent of an open grave

trust is the scent of an unwashed slave

trust is the scent of a souls last breath

trust is the scent of death

Give us your trust said the lady and lord

We will protect you by law and by sword

Trust us to keep your land safe and secure

and We shall ensure it endures.

But trust is the touch of a knife in the back

trust is the touch of the ropes on the rack

trust is the touch of a souls last breath

trust is the touch of death

Give me your trust said the Love of your life

I'll be your lover and I'll be your wife

Trust me to love you and stand by your side

as mother of children, and Bride

But Trust is the taste of a poisonous cup

Trust is the taste of a life given up

Trust is the taste of a souls last breath

Trust is the taste

Of Death.

Second, maybe the GOP should suspend the gentleman's agreement with the democrats that effectively allows the democrats to break the law at will and harass the GOP with insane, humorless enforcement of laws. Third, maybe they could invent a time machine and get Bush the W to do something about this when we could've put conservative lawyers and judges into positions of power throughout the federal monolith?

#138 My spiel:

Stonewall Jackson usually thought only in terms of attack. This attitude was exemplified on December 14, 1862, at Fredericksburg, Virginia. Vastly outnumbered by the Federals, Jackson was asked by a staff member, Â“How shall we ever cope with the overwhelming numbers of the enemy ?Â” JacksonÂ’s reply was to the point, Â“Kill them, sir, kill every man!Â”

"Marco Rubio, and their pals in Amnesty Int'l have other plans. If Amnesty passes, the illegals will be able to vote in 2014.

Game. Set. Match. "

No, they won't. Elections beyond 2014 but not in 2014 or at least not in numbers significant enough to make a difference. Besides, if conservatives are serious they better come out and vote in much bigger numbers than in the last three elections.

172 Mike Lee, senator from Utah, held an online/tele town hall. 90+% of his constituents favor immigration reform BUT they want to see it done step by step instead of all in one huge 'comprehensive' bill. I think this hits the major stumbling block. There are pieces and parts we're all in favor of but they get lost in a comprehensive package where there are bits we DON'T like. And rather than realizing that it is a portion of a comprehensive bill one might oppose, one is demonized as being anti-immigration reform period. The same holds true with comprehensive health care reform. Some parts are good, some are bad. Had it been done gradually, it would have been done better. I submit it is congressional showboating that demands these comprehensive packages rather than being willing to do the hard work of actually creating something that will work by tackling it issue by issue. I have a cheesecake recipe that is very, very good. It's easy because you just 'slosh' all the ingredients together and toss it in the oven--it's kind of a comprehensive cheesecake. But then again it isn't, because you have to measure out each ingredient to slosh together and you have to create the crust to fit it into. What our government seems to want to do it slosh all the bits together and toss it into the oven, no measuring, no differentiating the crust ingredients from the custard ingredients. You don't get a cheesecake that way, you get a mess. We aren't getting substantive reform on anything with these comprehensive bills, we're just getting a mess that spins well for the media.

You know who should pay for that? The asshole cop who embraced fuckuppery with both hands. You know who will pay for it? Taxpayers.

The left is driven by narcissism. They NEED to believe they are special, more intelligent, more moral, superior to those who disagree with them. That is how they are so relentless. It really is a mental illness.

265 86 Per Drudge. Massive fire near Baton Rouge at chemical plant. --- The fire is in Geismar, which is along the Mississippi between BR and NOLA in what I call "plant country", as there are a shit-ton of chemical plants and refineries there. There's been conflicting reports over deaths and injuries, with various reports listing differeing numbers dead and then coming back to say "not dead, just burned."

281 There is no downside, none, to engaging in such actions. I fear you are correct, AtC. I think this is what really bothers me about some of the right wing's criticism of Obama as a personality. I'm guessing that he's probably an odious, two-bit, jug-eared, ignoramus that has his Marxism on layaway at K-Mart but I could be wrong. Perhaps he's a perfectly decent fellow who is just ignorant and misguided. Doesn't matter. (There is just no getting away from construing him as a dumb-ass no matter how charitable I try to be.) Barack Obama is not the Genesis of this egregious bullshit*, he is but one of the many Products. *the term "egregious bullshit" was part of Jefferson's 2nd draft of the Declaration of Independence and Historians remain puzzled as to why it never made it into the final, signing copy.

288 What is Al Salvi's salary? Has he ever claimed to make more than his salary? What was the highest level of education he achieved? Does Al Salvi have a hot girlfriend? Was Salvi a model in college? If I don't like the answers to any of these questions, I believe Salvi should be put up against a wall and shot by a firing squad. We simply must start putting to death anyone who does not live up to our incredibly strange and completely arbitrary methods of determining who is guilty and who is innocent. KILL HIM!!!!!!!!!

290 Lois Lerner .. I've seen this movie before ...

In February 2009, FBI agent Chad Joy filed a whistleblower affidavit, alleging that prosecutors and FBI agents conspired to withhold and conceal evidence that could have resulted in a verdict of "not guilty." In his affidavit, Joy alleged that prosecutors intentionally sent a key witness back to Alaska after the witness performed poorly during a mock cross examination. The witness, Rocky Williams, later notified the defense attorneys that his testimony would undercut the prosecution's claim that his company had spent its own money renovating Sen. Stevens's house. Joy further alleged that the prosecutors intentionally withheld Brady material including redacted prior statements of a witness, and a memo from Bill Allen stating that Sen. Stevens probably would have paid for the goods and services if asked. Joy further alleged that a female FBI agent had an inappropriate relationship with Allen, who also gave gifts to FBI agents and helped one agent's relative get a job.

As a result of Joy's affidavit and claims by the defense that prosecutorial misconduct caused an unfair trial, Judge Sullivan ordered a hearing to be held on February 13, 2009, to determine whether a new trial should be ordered. At the February 13 hearing the judge held the prosecutors in contempt for failing to deliver documents to Stevens's legal counsel. Judge Sullivan called this conduct "outrageous."
