So because they finally got their status, there is no longer a case? Poof, we never targeted you at all!
Via Fox News:
A federal judge has dismissed all counts of a lawsuit filed by a Tea Party group against the IRS claiming it was targeted for special scrutiny.
Judge Reggie B. Walton said that the case was no longer relevant since the IRS eventually approved tax-exempt status for the group in question, Texas-based True the Vote. He added that the IRS has said it has taken steps to address the alleged targeting of conservative groups.
“Unless an actual, ongoing controversy exists in this case, this Court is without power to decide it,” Walton wrote in his decision.
The group in question, True the Vote, alleged in the lawsuit that the IRS made “numerous unnecessary, burdensome, and unlawful requests” about its activities, saying it was selected for special scrutiny because it used names like “Tea Party” in its application for non-profit status.
