Our elected officials should not be allowed to trade stock while in office.
While several proposals exist to address this pervasive problem, the Restore Trust in Congress Act has robust bipartisan support and a strong chance of becoming law. Congress should pass it.

the unitarian notion of accountability is, in general, very strange as it holds that a single election — the president’s reelect — is more democratically accountable than the rolling process of democratic assent produced by legislative elections and congressional oversight.

CLC urges SCOTUS to reject the President's attempt to take over independent agencies: "Challenging the limits of presidential power over independent agencies is simply the latest move in Trump’s campaign to erode the separation of powers that keeps a president from becoming a dictator."

It should be an easy call to reject the NRSC's challenge to the limits on party $$ going to candidates: the Supreme Court already upheld this exact law in 2001. I don't think anyone believes there is *less* reason to be concerned about big money and corruption in politics today.

It should not have taken 6 months and endless litigation to get here. But the fact that a court ultimately stopped these shenanigans and ordered the results certified is so critical. Kudos to all the democracy advocates on the ground that never gave an inch here.

No one should be judge in his own case. But Trump claims the power to control the independent Federal Election Comm’n—and its decisions on a host of complaints filed against his campaigns—as well as its administration of campaign finance law. CLC argues that Trump’s executive order is unlawful.
