Judicial Watch is reporting that top democrats are going to block Hans von Spakosky's nomination to the Federal Election Commission. According to Judicial Watch
Leading the chorus of opposition is California Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Rules Committee Chairwoman, who says it’s a “real problem” that the president’s Federal Election Commission nominee (Hans von Spakovsky) didn’t protect minority voters as a government attorney.If true this might be an important development. It had been thought that Von Spakosky would survive because nominees to the FEC come in pairs, Republican and Democrat, and Democrats don't want to lose one of their nominees.
