A lot of us did that years ago, but it’s nice to see this. But I expect the stonewalling to continue, because that’s what corrupted bureaucrats do, and will continue to do as long as there is no real accountability or consequences.

Until top-level ‘officials’ start doing hard time for contempt of court, the court will continue to be ignored.
I observe that, at least in the history of high-level jurisprudence in the US since the end of the Second World War, there are two kinds of high court decisions: those which are taken seriously, and which result in the 82nd Airborne Division coming to town to pay local politicians a visit with fixed bayonets and strongly worded suggestions to sign the papers integrating their schools or else they will start shooting people until they find one willing to get with the program and sign the goddamn papers, and those which are pro forma only.
One cannot help but notice that the enthusiasm for firm enforcement measures waxes as the political causes advanced by the court decision move to the Left, and wanes to the Right.
Thus I predict that the IRS officials mentioned are perfectly safe in their current course of action. They will be ice-skating in Hell before the Army comes to town to enforce a court decision against Affirmative Action, or protecting Second Amendment rights, or reining in an out-of-control bureaucracy like the IRS.
