"OpenSecrets Blog: Do you think that Colbert's super PAC and this ruling -- regardless of how much it follows the law -- is going to change people's ideas and make the FEC seem illegitimate at all?
Potter: To the contrary, I think it makes the FEC seem legitimate. Unlike, for instance, Jim Bopp, Mr. Colbert actually went to the FEC. He got an advisory opinion. He went through the process, and the whole country had a chance to see what that process was. So I think people have a higher degree of awareness that the commission exists than they did before. "
