We've filed FEC complaints concerning both Hillary Clinton (web site) and John McCain. (web site) I'm sure both are happy that the FEC impasse insures that not much will be done on these or other pending issues until well after the election.

And then there's the issue of judges. With the filibuster and other tactics, the refusal by Senate liberals to consider judicial nominations for up-or-down Senate votes has been a constitutional abomination throughout the entire Bush presidency. It is especially egregious during this election year, as 17 judicial emergencies created by vacancies in various courts are allowed to fester. One would think there might be more focus on the Senate's role in all this, since the leading presidential candidates this year are U.S. Senators.

I've only scratched the surface of issues that deserve more coverage by the media during this election year. Corruption, judicial emergencies, and the collapse of the rule of law in campaign finance are important enough...

I learned much from the discussion and I hope you're able to view it on C-Span.
