“Republicans and Democrats at that time asked for investigations into this, and this is from 2005. I ask unanimous consent that an article that talks about the investigation of the NAACP that involved the IRS in 2006 be printed in the Record. This is a continuing scandal. It is outrageous, and I think anyone who goes after a liberal group should be canned. Anyone who goes after a conservative group should be canned unless there is reason to do so. But it appears they are not following the rules of nonprofits, which is they cannot be political. I ask that those items be placed in the Record only to remind people that this is a bad and terrible thing that has happened, and it has been a while. I object to the request that we place such an urgently important matter on this long-term bill. It is going to take a while for us to get it through the House. We don't know when the conference will come back. I object to the unanimous consent request to turn a bill like this into a bill about the IRS scandal. The PRESIDING OFFICER. First of all, on the second request of the Senator from California, is there any objection? The Chair hears none.…”
