Being such hardcore champions of the Cons ution, this is a move I expect Tea Partiers to applaud.
The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday afternoon that Lois Lerner, who heads up the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt division, plans to invoke the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Cons ution in a hearing Wednesday before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Affairs.
The Fifth Amendment provides that U.S. citizens may not be compelled to offer testimony if telling the truth would incriminate them.

Is this a new troll or just a recycled old troll?
So champions of the Cons ution won't be happy about someone exercising their 5th amendment rights?
Who are you?
Just finished his first semester of his political science degree. He def has that blend of ignorance and arrogance.
Why would they. I'd imagine this generality would include their hatred for the IRS and the sixteenth amendment. Or maybe your generalized group are a bunch of racist rednecks who are against anything Obama is doing because he's black. Seems like a childish idea you would correlate.
Wtf are you talking about dude? Do you even know what pleading the fifth means?
Last i checked Tea Partiers find any opportunity to champion the sovereignty of the cons ution. How Cons utional rights are godly and pure and should never be taken away from us. So, since they love the Cons ution so much, i simply assumed Tea Partiers would applaud Lerner exercising her Fifth Amendment right instead of testifying about the IRS scandal. She has Cons utional Rights and she's using them. It's what the Tea Party wants, right?
WTF are you talking about? This OP got trolled. I'm responding to the new topic.
Who are these tea partiers you speak of? Maybe if we have one of the spokespeople or a specific group, if would be easier...
How did the op get trolled?
So people who claim to be part of the "Tea Party" don't claim to champion the Cons ution?
IDK all the Tea Party people. But IMO, as a person who likes the original tea party idea, pleading the fifth is great and all. But that's for court. You plead the fifth so you don't incriminate yourself. Meaning she's guilty. I personally think she's doing this to avoid lawsuits. I think to make sure this never happens again, they should just get rid of the IRS.
where did you get the champion the cons ution phrase? What does that even mean? Like defend it? Isn't that what the President and every citizen are supposed to do?
I think she's exercising the freedoms she has a Cons utional right to, and therefore has no guilt whatsoever. You must hate America.
Some seem to be more selective about which parts they defend and which parts they conveniently ignore and then attempt to rationalize their hypocrisy with "the Bible says this".
I like how sean jacquemotte's de facto insult is "You must be college educated!" because his stupid ass thinks having a college education is a bad thing![]()
The whole point of someone invoking the fifth is so they do not have to self incriminate. Maybe you should read the fifth amendment. Sounds like you are picking and choosing.
Did your other troll get banned again coward? I never said college education is a bad thing.
Even if Lerner intentionally targeted these non-political, political organizations it's not illegal...
since when can the government plead the 5th?? lol
it's to protect us from the government, not the government from us...
She has a Cons utional Right to exercise the Fifth Amendment. You must hate America and freedom.
