The IRS is not allowed to engage in partisan politics or use any consideration other than the tax law as a basis for any action it takes. singling out conservative groups for special attention is clearly against the rules. It also demanded answers to a lot of questions that had nothing to do with the party's tax liability.

That, and the 1st Amendment, and the 4th Amendment....

The 14th Amendment would be a start.
Under no circumstances will the Internal Revenue Service tolerate discrimination by its employees, grantees, contractors, and/or subcontractors. NO ONE shall be excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination because of: race, color, sex, national origin, disability, reprisal, or age in programs or activities funded by the Department of Treasury - Internal Revenue Service
They singled out certain groups that's against the law.
Also they violated the IRS 501 (c)
Protection of non public personal information.
Sec. 6801
(b)
(3)
(3) to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.
They were asking for all their members personal communications of their e-mails and Facebook conversations.
That's against the law for IRS to have any of that information.

I don't think it violates the 14th amendment for the IRS to put extra scrutiny on a group that is openly anti-tax. Seems like that's their job.
That would be like saying the FBI violates the 14th amendment when they investigate KKK members who openly threaten to lynch black people.

The IRS didn't discrimminate on the basis of sex, race, national origins, age, or activities funded by the Department of Treasury.
I haven't read any news accounts that say the IRS was asking for emails or Facebook conversations. Do you have a source?
I have read that they wanted a list of private donors. I don't see what's wrong with that.

The violation stems from the fact that they are targeting conservative groups exclusively. That violates the equal protection clause. Judge Napolitano explained it very well.
Thee KKK was involved in criminal activity. None of the groups the IRS investigated were under criminal investigation.
Your comparison fails, big time!

But it is the Tea party groups who are anti-tax. They would be more likely to cheat on tax matters. My comparison doesn't fail at all.
