Republican FEC Commissioners and 100.22(b): It is Worse Than I Said

Don’t miss this post from Steve Hoersting, who notes: “To put it in the language of WRTL II, however, a cursory review of ‘the four corners’ of footnote 30, ‘with limited reference to [the] context’ of Hasen’s comments may leave readers ‘no other reasonable interpretation other than’ to believe the Republican Commissioners are four-square behind the validity and enforcement of 11 CFR 100.22(b). This is not so. The Republican Commissioners address 11 CFR 100.22(b) only arguendo in the AJS matter, and promise a more thorough statement on the validity of 11 CFR 100.22(b), or lack thereof, in the near future. We at CCP, among others we’re sure, look forward to reading it.”
Translation: We may now have three commissioners who will refuse to enforce section 100.22(b) on grounds that it is unconstitutional. More at BNA ($).
