WASHINGTON -- On Friday evening, the U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia issued a ruling that could begin the process of revealing the
identities of secret donors to groups connected to Karl Rove and the Koch
brothers.
.
The court ruled in Van Hollen v. Federal Election Commission that the FEC
rules that restricted campaign donor disclosure are not valid and must be
changed to provide for disclosure.
.
"We are very happy to see the judge got it right," says Paul Ryan, a
lawyer for the Campaign Legal Center, a campaign finance watchdog that was
a part of the team challenging the FEC rules.
.
Those rules state that donors to groups spending money on "electioneering
communications," or advertisements that do not specifically call to elect
or defeat a candidate, must only be disclosed if they specifically
earmarked their donation to that particular expenditure. Since few, if
any, donors to these groups ever earmark their donation for a specific
election expense there was no disclosure.
.
That FEC rule came in the wake of the 2007 Supreme Court ruling in
Wisconsin Right to Life v. FEC. That ruling overturned a ban, instituted
by the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law, regarding direct
corporate and union contributions to electioneering communications.
.
Friday's court ruling could reverse a trend started by the FEC rules, and
aggravated by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, that led
to an explosion in undisclosed contributions to electoral efforts. The
percentage of independent spending that went undisclosed jumped from 1
percent in 2006 to 43.8 percent in 2010, according to the Center for
Responsive Politics.
.
Advertisements falling under the rubric of "electioneering communications"
include those run against President Barack Obama by the American Energy
Alliance and Americans for Prosperity, both non-profits linked to the Koch
brothers. All ads run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are classified as
"electioneering communications." The ruling would require for the first
time that contributions to these groups, and many more, be disclosed.
