Opinion: Why not defund the FEC? - Melanie Sloan

Leading the dysfunctional charge is Donald McGahn, previously a top campaign finance lawyer to disgraced former congressman (and now convicted felon) Tom DeLay (R-Texas). McGahn has openly expressed his contempt for election laws, admitting during a keynote speech at a symposium at the University of Virginia Law School to “not enforcing the law as Congress passed it.”

This is like a baseball player refusing to swing the bat. Armed with the votes of two other Republican commissioners, McGahn has been allowed to kneecap the FEC.
