On November 9, U.S. District Court Judge Ginger Berrigan, a Clinton appointee, heard arguments in Cao v Federal Election Commission, 08-4887. The Republican National Committee and New Orleans Congressmember Joseph Cao had filed the case last year, to overturn parts of the McCain-Feingold law that make it difficult for national political parties to provide assistance to their own nominees. See this story. UPDATE: here is a more detailed story.
McCain – Finegold. Passed by a Republican Congress and signed by a Republican President. Funny how the GOP only believes in the freedoms of the Constitution when they feel like it.
Is this the Congressman representing the district formerly held by William Jefferson?
Yes.
Would King George III have loved to have donation stuff totally controlled by the his regime in 1774-1776 ???
Do ALL incumbents just love having limited donation stuff — in order to stay in POWER — i.e. just as EVIL rotten as the old time monarchs / oligarchs in the old rotten European regimes ???
