Did Chuck Schumer try to use the IRS to sidestep the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling — and stick a dagger in the heart of conservative groups?
That’s the gist of a complaint filed this week with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
In Citizens United, the court held that bans on independent political expenditures by corporations, associations and labor unions are bans on speech.
The Center for Competitive Politics is asking that Schumer and nine other Democratic senators be investigated for trying to use the IRS to suppress the free speech of political opponents.
The complaint notes Schumer signed letters asking the IRS if it was investigating “social welfare organizations” to see if they were improperly campaigning.
Turns out the IRS did investigate. And — surprise! — almost all the groups singled out for special IRS scrutiny were conservative.

How much did he pay for his hair transplant?
"That’s the gist of a complaint filed this week with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics."
So this Committee, controlled by Democrats, is really going to come down hard on Chuck?
this is just so very revealing. again that historical tactic of employing a political "force multiplier".
we need to remain watchful for more of this "piano playing".
Schumer will receive justice in the next life, not this one. What a turd he has been in the punchbowl of american poliotics.
Funny how this sort of thing cost Nixon his job. I guess nowadays such things are OK.
Chucky Schumer, as pure as the driven slush.
he yearly marches in the Memorial day parades with his campaign signs,violating parade rules and dishonoring America's war dead.
a schmuck.....
the citizens united decision by the supreme court has corrupted the nation and instilled perpetual cynicism in our citizenry of our democratic system
Which shows that the allegations against chuck e cheese prove true,he may gave legitimacy to the plaintiff of their belief that money=speech and corporations=people.
way to go chuck,you stupid asshole.
