While I'm thrilled that she's gone, this was my first question, too. Give back the $ for the meetings you skipped. We're not paying you to sit your ass at home.

Political speech is the one speech that is absolutely protected.

Does it have to be a rat or does it have to be a member of a political party other than the President’s? Plenty of libertarians, greens and Constitution party folks out there I’d rather see than a rat.

Ann Ravel, who wanted to regulate political speech on the internet from websites such as the Drudge Report, announced Sunday that she is stepping down from her post.

Bye, you free speech hating bitch, GTFO.

good question.
In the absence of details, seems Pres. Trump could replace a RAT with someone from another party.
Here’s the blah blah from the FEC:

“The Commission is made up of six members, who are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

Each member serves a six-year term, and two seats are subject to appointment every two years.

By law, no more than three Commissioners can be members of the same political party, and at least four votes are required for any official Commission action.

This structure was created to encourage nonpartisan decisions.

The Chairmanship of the Commission rotates among the members each year, with no member serving as Chairman more than once during his or her term.”

Leave it open or nominate someone the opposition won’t confirm.
