-- .
“Then, and only then, may the IRS act on a fully informed basis when making potentially significant changes to federal tax law,” U.S. federal Judge Brian Morris said in the opinion published Tuesday evening.

Democrats had criticized the agency’s move, saying it opened up the possibility for foreign interests to influence elections.
