May 15, 2013- Today, Senate Democrats placed a hold on Sen. Rand Paul's recent resolution
that condemns the targeting of Tea Party groups by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) and calls for an investigation into this practice.
"This
resolution is not about Republican vs. Democrat or conservative vs.
liberal. It is about arrogant and unrestrained government vs. the rule
of law. The First Amendment cannot and should not be renegotiated
depending on which party holds power," Sen. Paul said. "Each senator
took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, yet Senate Democrats
chose to block my resolution and thus refused to condemn the IRS for
trampling on our First Amendment rights. I am incredibly disappointed in
Washington's party politics and I am determined to hold the IRS
accountable for these unjust acts."
