Breaking: Rand Paul to sue IRS, U.S Treasury

Rand Paul is poised to become the first major presidential candidate in memory to sue the government he seeks to lead as president.

The Kentucky senator will take legal action against the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service for what he says is the denial of his constitutional right to vote on more than 100 tax-information treaties that the Obama administration unilaterally negotiated with foreign governments, The Washington Times has learned.

In what the suit says is a violation of Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, President Obama has not consulted the U.S. Senate about the treaties nor given the Senate an opportunity to approve or disapprove of the treaties. The administration calls them intergovernmental agreements. They require foreign banks to gather and share private financial information about millions of Americans living and working outside the U.S. information they would not have to disclose to the U.S. government if they lived and worked in the U.S.

Whoa, that's the first I've heard of this new lawsuit of Paul's. He's the best politician in America for stirring up discussion about his priorities. This is an interesting way to raise awareness of his cause especially with TPP coming on strong in Congress. Hopefully, this results in more talk about what free trade is and what it looks like.
