AICPA Has No Standing To Litigate IRS Credential Program

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants was in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia court defending our brand against hordes of unernrolled tax preparers waving their IRS Records of Completion.  I'm trying to decide whether this case or the big deal they made out of responding to H & R Block's new grab for upscale business is really a good use of AICPA resources.  It seems to me that if AICPA was really looking out for keeping tax work being done by American CPAs, the organization would be fighting outsourcing return preparation to India . But that's just me.
