    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.

    Being such hardcore champions of the Cons ution, this is a move I expect Tea Partiers to applaud.

    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.

    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?

    Who are these tea partiers you speak of? Maybe if we have one of the spokespeople or a specific group, if would be easier...

    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.

    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".

    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.

    Even if Lerner intentionally targeted these non-political, political organizations it's not illegal...

    She has probably figured out that they have decided to make her the scapegoat.

    countermove is to give her immunity for COMPLETE testimony of who knew what/when.
