Kamala Harris, California Attorney General, seems to just make law up as she feels like it, and of course, this just happens to come against a conservative political non-profit.

This kind of thing is just getting stupid, ridiculous and corrupt beyond measure. Does this progressive tool think this will alter the balance of political power, or that we have a system WORTH HAVING if it can and does?
Is there any respect, by even the Attorney Generals's (whose job it is to enforce the laws ..not their imagined version of them) for the rule of law? If not..when do we get to start making law up as we feel like it should be?
This stuff is going to be a hoot on steroids when we have a wild and uncontrollable Republican in office. Precedent being established as baseline acceptable by these corrupt pieces of garbage will have a free for all BOTH sides will come to hate being anywhere near, by the end of it.
If the rule of law no longer applies...what does? The rule of wishful thinking by each person with power to enforce their vision of it?
The Thomas More Law Center claims Harris suddenly demanded disclosure of its private donor list despite the fact the nonprofit submitted its 2015 taxes in California the same way it has for the last 13 years. The center says revealing the names would open its donors up to public and media scrutiny the nonprofit often receives for its stance on controversial issues, and could prohibit future donations.
"The rights to free speech, association, petition, free exercise of religion and privacy, guaranteed by the United States and California Constitutions, are threatened, ironically, by the chief law enforcement officer of the state of California," the complaint says.
While the law center is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) and is required to submit donor lists to the IRS, it says California's tax laws do not require that information and it hasn't been asked to by the state in the past.
Harris began requesting the private information beginning in 2012 but hasn't given reasons for the demand or stated what legal authority she was basing her request on, the center says.
