And that’s exactly why they are subject to the FEC. They self-identify their purpose as to elect Democrats. That makes them a political committee like any other. We can argue the merits of election law and there is plenty of debate to have there. However, right now the laws are what they are and they should apply to everyone equally.

If you consider yourself an expert in election law and can prove they - or we - are pacs, then please define your argument more concisely than "the laws are what they are".

No offense, but that statement, to me at least, has the exact same impact as "sure as the sun will shine", or "and that's the way it is".

I'm not an attorney, so if someone's going to interpert the law for my benefit, I'd like to see exactly how he arrives at his conclusions, where he gets his data, who has opined in a similar manner, and if that person were a judge.

Again, no offence, just qualify your statement, please.
