Regarding my post:
"Judge Grants Partial Motion for Summary Judgment in
Shays II Case"...
UPDATE: A few readers (who have much greater knowledge of the
day-to-day business of the FEC than I do) wrote to ask about my
statement above that I believe the FEC is working on 527 rules. My
memory on this point was faulty. Here is the
FEC rulemaking page, and there is not any rulemaking listed there for
when 527s should be considered as political committees. I had seemed to
recall that when the FEC failed to enact rules for 527s in the summer
of 2004, it put this on the agenda to consider after the 2004
elections. But that appears to be wrong.
