Ken Starr to Lead Attack on Campaign Finance Reform
from the best-government-money-can-buy dept.
So, I’m sure I’m not the only cynic who views the recent passage of campaign finance reform by the U.S. Congress as an event destined to be less than earthshaking in its longterm effects. Like state legislatures passing laws setting pi equal to 3, it just ain’t gonna happen. Ken Starr will lead the counterattack, apparently, serving as the legal equivalent of a Presa Canario for Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky). “This is a mission to preserve the fundamental constitutional freedom of all Americans to fully participate in our democracy,” said the Senator yesterday, of his planned legal challenge to the reforms. Right.
