Citizens United reargued tomorrow.
Mt congressman never did get me tickets I wrote for.
This is from a Bopp press release.
The brief noted that FECA is 244 pages, and the FEC regulations interpreting FECA add an additional 568 pages. There have been 17 “major” and 366 other cases challenging FECA and FEC regulations, with 17 yet unresolved. The FEC has filled 1,278 pages of the Federal Register with explanations and justifications for its regulations, along with 10 policy statements, 1 interpretive rule, and 1,771 advisory opinions since 1975, with 9 more pending. The FEC has published 17 reporting forms, each with instructions, 6 campaign guides, 24 brochures, and 163 monthly issues of The Record, beginning in 1996. The FEC has numerous audit reports for review, and over 6,000 Matters Under Review, which involve resolved FEC complaints.
Former Commissioner and Chairman Bradley Smith says: “We think it is important that the Court grasp the complexity of the law and the enormous practical burden it places on those who would speak about politics. As a result, many don’t speak at all, and our society is poorer for it. We hope that as former commissioners, we can assist the Court to understand the scope of the law and the difficulty, if not impossibility, of administering it in a manner consistent with a robust First Amendment.”
