    "McConnell Hints at Prolonged Campaign Finance Debate"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65089>

Roll Call: 
<http://blogs.rollcall.com/wgdb/senate-campaign-finance-debate-mcconnell/?dcz=>

    Senate Democrats are facing the prospect of Republicans voting to
    prolong debate on a campaign finance constitutional amendment, a
    move that could interfere with Democrats' plans for a barrage of
    pre-election votes on issues from student loans to the minimum wage
    to equal pay for women.

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has already scheduled a
    Monday evening vote to cut off debate on taking up a proposal
    sponsored by Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M. to amend the constitution to
    effectively overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision,
    which threw out many limits on campaign spending on First Amendment
    grounds. Republicans vehemently oppose the amendment
    <http://www.rollcall.com/news/senate_democrats_begin_efforts_to_amend_constitution-233618-1.html> and
    it seemed, at least at the outset, that Democrats were planning for
    a quick defeat.

    "Their goal is to shut down the voices of their critics at a moment
    when they fear the loss of their fragile Senate majority. And to
    achieve it, they're willing to devote roughly half of the remaining
    legislative days before November to this quixotic anti-speech
    gambit," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell wrote in Politico
    opinion piece posted late Sunday
    <http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/09/the-democrats-assault-on-free-speech-110641.html>.

    His complaint is more than a complaint --- he has assigned an
    extended period of time beyond the few hours of debate that would
    happen if his party simply voted "No" on Monday. So reading between
    the lines, McConnell may be hinting the GOP will allow debate to
    continue and, therefore, use procedure to lock Democrats into a
    prolonged debate.

The Daily Beast 
<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/09/06/the-democrats-katherine-harris-strategy.html>:

    With control of the Senate up for grabs and a Republican House
    looking to expand its majority in November, it would seem strange
    for DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to spend even a minute
    thinking about usually sleepy down-ballot races like the open seat
    for Iowa's Secretary of State.

    But at the Democratic National Committee summer meeting last month,
    Wasserman Schultz not only talked about that Iowa contest---she also
    promised to campaign for the Democrat in the race, Brad Anderson,
    and four other Democratic secretary of state candidates in swing
    states across the country this fall. Why use so much fire power on
    such low-profile offices?

    A Senate investigative panel on Friday confirmed that the Internal
    Revenue Service used inappropriate methods to scrutinize tax-exempt
    groups but said it found "no evidence of IRS political bias" in the
    agency's actions.

    In its 228-page report
    <https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1284112-report-irs-amp-tigta-mgmt-failures-related-to.html>,
    the Democrat-led Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations also
    criticized the IRS's independent watchdog for allegedly failing to
    make clear that the agency targeted more than just conservative groups.

NYDN: 
<http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/moreland-commission-special-counsel-blasts-andrew-cuomo-article-1.1930106>

    A former special counsel to Gov. Cuomo's anti-corruption commission
    blasted the governor Friday as he endorsing his Democratic primary
    challenger, Zephyr Teachout.

    Janos Marton, who worked on the commission for most of its brief
    time in existence, penned a scathing opinion piece for the
    progressive online site Daily Kos
    <http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/09/05/1327323/-Why-this-former-Special-Counsel-to-the-Moreland-Commission-supports-Zephyr-Teachout> that
    denounced Cuomo's interference with the panel.

    It was the harshest on-the-record attack yet from someone tied to
    the commission.

    Extensive David Cole Review of Teachout's Book on Corruption

NYRB 
<http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2014/sep/25/how-corrupt-are-our-politics/>:

    In truth, what makes this field of law so difficult is that the
    tensions cannot be avoided by categorical or definitional rejections
    of the valid concerns on both sides of the debate. Teachout's
    important new book reminds us that corruption---in its more
    expansive sense of excessive private interest undermining public
    virtue---poses very real risks to a functioning democracy, risks
    that were foreseen at the founding, and that have preoccupied
    politicians, statesmen, and jurists for the entire course of our
    nation's history. Today's Court has sought to deny those concerns
    through a definitional strategy that cannot be squared either with
    that history or with the actual effects of money on our politics.
    Teachout's intervention does not provide all the answers, but is a
    much-needed corrective. Only when the Court begins to grapple with
    the full extent of the dangers of corruption will its campaign
    finance jurisprudence truly reflect the competing values at stake.

Nate Cohn writes 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/07/upshot/why-democrats-cant-win.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=c-column-top-span-region&region=c-column-top-span-region&WT.nav=c-column-top-span-region&abt=0002&abg=0>for 
NYT's "The Upshot."

    Democrats often blame gerrymandering, but that's not the whole
    story. More than ever, the kind of place where Americans live ---
    metropolitan or rural --- dictates their political views. The
    country is increasingly divided between liberal cities and close-in
    suburbs, on one hand, and conservative exurbs and rural areas, on
    the other. Even in red states, the counties containing the large
    cities --- like Dallas, Atlanta, St. Louis and Birmingham --- lean
    Democratic.

    True the Vote Celebrates Denial of Sanctions Against It as Victory

Talk about spin. From TTV's weekly email:

    *One Last Dispatch from Mississippi
    *
    As most of us began our Labor Day weekend, the Federal Court in
    Mississippi handed down its verdict in our lawsuit against the State
    of Mississippi and the Republican Party involving election records
    in the 2014 Republican Senate Primary Run-Off.*Essentially, the
    Court recognized that True the Vote had rightfully sued the
    Secretary of State and the MSGOP, despite the MS Republican Party's
    protestations to the contrary. Consequently, the Court also denied
    the Party's filing for sanctions against True the Vote and the 21
    Mississippi voters who joined our suit as additional plaintiffs
    against the Party. Though we were pleased by those favorable
    decisions*, we were disappointed in the Court's ruling on the heart
    of our case which sought access to absentee ballot applications,
    envelopes, and poll book -- all of which are public documents
    essential in an election audit. True the Vote was told that we had
    not waited long enough to file suit, and that that the Court
    believed many of the records sought should not be shared as a matter
    of public record under federal law.

Politics on the Hudson 
<http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2014/09/05/teachout-wu-sue-state-democrats-over-pro-cuomo-mailers/>:

    An attorney for Gov. Andrew Cuomo's primary challenger is seeking to
    put a halt to pro-Cuomo spending by the state Democratic Committee.

    Fordham Law Professor Zephyr Teachout's campaign is due in state
    Supreme Court in Manhattan this afternoon to seek a temporary
    restraining order that would prevent the state's Democratic
    operation from funding mailers supporting Cuomo and running mate
    Kathy Hochul in this Tuesday's primary election. (Several Democratic
    Committee-funded mailers have already gone out to primary voters.
    <http://www.nystateofpolitics.com/2014/08/with-a-focus-on-primary-state-democrats-mail-for-cuomo-and-hochul/>)

    The Teachout campaign cites section 2-126 of the state Election Law:
    a ban on spending party money on any one candidate in a primary
    election.

    So I have now read Benjamin Cassady's "You've Got Your Crook, I've
    Got Mine
    <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2447970>," 32
    Quinnipiac L. Rev. 209 (2014), to which Professor Tillman's article
    <http://www.pointoforder.com/2014/08/24/tillman-on-the-disqualification-clause/> responds.
    Cassady makes the case that the Constitution's Impeachment and
    Disqualification Clauses do not apply to federal legislators. Much
    of the article is devoted to explaining why this result makes sense
    as a policy matter: basically that a crooked legislator is not as
    dangerous as a crooked judge or executive official and that voters
    should be able to "pardon" a crooked legislator by returning her to
    office with full knowledge of her misdeeds.

Wow it is so late to be doing this.  When you look at how expedited 
these things usually are, these delays here are pretty unprecedented.

"An appeals court has ruled that forged signatures will keep a candidate 
off the November ballot, a decision the Pasadena justice of the peace 
hopeful said she will appeal. But unless Leonila Olivares-Salazar gets 
some kind of decision from the Texas Supreme Court within days, voters 
will not see the Republican candidate's name."
