republican war on the fec, democratic elections

and rules of law.
election-law experts, supporters of campaign-finance regulations, and even some members of the commission itself are expressing growing concern about a string of cases in which the three republicans on the commission -- led by tom delay's former ethics lawyer -- have voted as a block against enforcement, preventing the commission from carrying out its basic regulatory function. as the normally mild-mannered washington post editorial board wrote recently: "the three republican appointees are turning the commission into the little agency that wouldn't: wouldn't launch investigations, wouldn't bring cases, wouldn't even accept settlements that the staff had already negotiated." - tpmmuckraker
republicans hate an america not run by multinational corporations or the uber wealthy.

"...tom delay's former ethics lawyer..."

Wouldnt you have to have ethics in the first place before you can refer to them as "former"?
