Roll Call offers this editorial (paid subscription required), which begins: “The federal courts have now decisively struck down — three times — the Federal Election Commission’s rewrite of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act. It’s now time for the FEC to stop fighting the law and start trying to enforce it. The third strike came Friday, when the full D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to review a three-judge panel’s refusal to overturn District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s October 2004 decision that declared invalid no fewer than 15 FEC regulations that she said ‘would render the statute largely meaningless.'”
