The FEC Is Not Legally Able To Process Your Request At This Time Mr. Dean

MyDD is having kittens about McCain and the financing of his campaign. They seem to think because a member of the FEC sent a letter to McCain, action will be taken. Howard Dean intends to file a complaint tomorrow. Here’s the deal, at the moment the FEC has only two Commissioners - hence, no quorum, no function. How did this dearth develop?

some Democratic Senators, including a first-term Senator from Illinois who is seeking the Presidency, by the (arguably iniquitous, but in any event sometimes misapplied) use of a “hold” have blocked one nominee, with the ensuing effect of holding up all of them and creating and perpetuating vacancies.

As of this writing, while daily and routine FEC business continues, the agency cannot make policy, adjudicate complaints with finality or act with respect to major issues - as, by way of example and not limitation, allowing statutorily authorized matching funds.
