<x-flowed>I was referring to when the FEC's 3-3 vote took place, not to when the
lawsuit was filed.

Finding a Way to Get the FEC's 527 Inaction
beforethe CourtsForsome time I have wondered what
strategy Republicans or that segment ofthe reform
community that wishes greater regulation of 527s
mightpursue to get review of the FEC's inaction on the
527 issue. AlthoughRepublicans have now done an
about-face on the 527 issue and are urgingthat 527s
(formerly declared illegal) be set up in earnest to
benefitRepublicans, at least one reform group
continues the fight. See thisCampaign Legal Center
press release. It appears that the CLC hasintervened
in an existing lawsuit over an earlierFEC action on
527s. I have not had a chance to look at the papers,
butthis looks like a suit based on FEC inaction before
the McConnellcase issued.
