What kept the republicans from doing something about it at first? Were they scared of a filibuster? It seems that both parties have “allowed” this, and both stand to benefit from the delay.

Rick,

You have no idea what you’re talking about. The FEC cannot meet right now because it lacks a quorum because of inaction on Han’s nomination. That means, in the middle of a presidential election, the nation’s ethics agency cannot do a single thing. If a call is placed to 911, nobody will answer and the police will not show up to stop the bad guys. That is frankly amazing to me regardless of which party allows it.
