FEC Gets Out of Internet Politics


The Federal Election Commission decided Monday that the nation's new campaign finance law will not apply to most political activity on the Internet. In a 6-0 vote, the commission decided to regulate only paid political ads placed on another person's Web site... David Pace, Breitbart.com


When regulators don't regulate, that's cause for rejoicing, but it's also a cue to memory: the FEC in the future can still do what it refused to do today (unanimously), so, fellow bloggers, don't let down your guard. McCain-Feingold, that coward's way out from under critical examination of individuals in office, is still out there.
