The most senior Democrat on the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday said laws were “probably broken” in an incident concerning reports that the IRS targeted conservative groups for additional monitoring, calling the issue “one of the most alarming things” he’s ever seen.
“I think laws were probably broken, but at the least there have been some improper actions on the part of the IRS,” said Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), speaking on CNN’s “The Situation Room.” “If it’s not against the law we need to create some laws to make it so.”
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
