One snag is that the commission has four vacancies and therefore lacks a quorum to consider the matter.
The Boston Globe

Always the snag or reasons for slow justice when it applies to the elite class. It is so crystal clear now, more than ever that one set of laws/penalities applies to certain people (white male, suit & tie class) & a whole other set for the rest of us little people. Justice could be spelled Just-us!

A little campaign financing issue? Illegal? C'mon, get serious. Do you remember when a lot of people actually believed outing a covert CIA agent for political purposes was a crime? But now we know better, don't we? And remember when folks thought spying on Americans' bank records and telecommunications without a warrant was illegal? Turned out that wasn't true either. And holding Americans in custody without charges and without access to attorney for months or years? There were a lot of people who said that was illegal. But as it turns out -- not so much. It's funny the number of things that a lot of people seem to believe are illegal but aren't. Next time someone tells you something is illegal, do yourself a favor. Don't believe it and you'll find out you are correct at least 90% of the time. Remember, just because there's some piece of legislation somewhere that says you can't do it doesn't mean it's illegal.

McCain has nothing to worry about.

KerrynowCampau · 1 year ago

Perhaps mccain cleverly inserted a provision that he can indeed ignore the law. He has to have his lawyers find it because he can't remember where he put it.

But he knows it is there dammit!

Haha I love it =) He can't even wait to get into office before he begins breaking the law =) Bush '08!!

Republicans punished for breaking the law is so 20th century.

they all get away with it. all of them.

Do any average Americans care about this stuff? No. McBush will be spun, rinsed, repeated, and washed by the Rovian spinmeisters so that Idiot America will see him as tough, macho, able, hero, oh and white and male. And so he'll flounder around for four years while we continue to swim in this sewer called the USA.

This is an indication of McCain's problem solving abilities -- they're non-existent.

A Republican candidate breaking the law in front of everyone and giving us the finger at the same time.

Laws & ordinances are passed & enforced quickly for kidz wearing baggy clothes though.

Never mind a lot of those kids only feel like, the only thing they are doing is adopting the dress code of their future's, which is worn in prison.

This is freedom??

I see now why the Liberty Bell is cracked so freedom could not ring across the land.

Seriously Joe, How can I focus on McCain breaking the law, when there is a black man out there talking bad about America and white people. I have to keep my priorities in order.

Mikki --SE Pennsylvania · 1 year ago

Well perhaps the only thing to do is to suspend Insane McCain's campaign until this little matter of 4mil illegal overexpenditure can be ironed out? And if it doesn't go your way-- Hey John five years in a federal white-collar pokey couldn't be as bad as the North Vietnamese stuff you are always crowing about---oops I forget there are still some questions about veracity there too.

Another Republican broke the law? Does this mean he will get the Medal of Freedom before the election or after?

If he were a Democrat, the cable "news" noisemakers would be howling for him to drop out of the race immediately. I'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago

Where are the Rule of Law Republicans I've heard so much about? They saw this coming and nobody is creative enough to deal with it? Aren't they embarrassed? Aren't they worried about the ugly stain of lawless behavior their nominee has all over him?

Like Cheney says: "So?"

Bush_Bites · 1 year ago

Good. McCain just cut his own neck.

Now Obama doesn't have to worry about being a Public Funding Boy Scout.

He can raise all he wants and bury McCain in the Fall.

AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago

Someone needs to set up a tote board (or a big thermometer) like they have for muscular dystrophy telethons keeping track of the ILLEGAL money John McCain is spending.

Too bad the FEC won't do anything about it.

Mykel1 · 1 year ago

Congress & the President are making the POTUS office more current by giving the POTUS strongman/woman dictatorial powers & leaving no recourse for redress so the POTUS can have a "so what" attitude about what they do. Congress will not be outdone by some of tin horn, third rate, third world dictatorships the American tax dollars & military props up.

The nerve of the little people to expect anything different.

Now, the Goldwater Gal wants to give immunity to predatory corporations

The New York senator proposed greater protections for lenders from possible lawsuits by investors, a variation of so-called tort reform. For years, GOP leaders have called for restrictions on what they consider unwarranted lawsuits against businesses. Democrats have often resisted them on grounds they limit injured parties' legitimate rights to redress.

Any Democrat who supports HillBilly is an idiot.

When things like this happen and no one is running THE STORY , don't these so called journalists/reporters KNOW that SOME PEOPLE DO KNOW that THEY too are part of the problem.
I Mean this is 2008 The internet is running shit, how can Blitzer not run a segment on this or on HRC VS Peter Paul story.HE MUST KNOW that people know about this. This isn't right.

I think they won't say JACK SHIT about this just like that female lobbyist that was globe trotting with Mccain all over the place. Several Newsoutlets KNEW what was going on but they didn't report shit till after MCcain was untouchable in regards to becoming the Rep nominee.

I'm sorry, you appear to have inadvertantly mistaken CNN for a news channel. It is not. CNN is an entertainment channel. As such, they have no obligation to report any actual news.

McCain breaks law by breaking spending limits

Well, isn't that just Macktastic!

Could it be that the caped crusader of campaign finance reform didn't really mean it after all? Especially, when those reforms apply to his own presidential campaign? How predictable! A clear-cut case of IOKIYAR.

Still, how very Keating Five of old Mack!
