The Democratic National Committee is planning to file suit against the Federal Election Commission Monday in an effort to examine Republican presidential candidate, John McCain’s right to withdraw from the public financing system for the primary.
The commission will have 60 days to respond. If the commission continues without a quorum, D.N.C. attorney Joe Sandler said they plan to ask the court for permission to file suit directly against McCain’s campaign.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama previously said that he would use public financing for his general election campaign "if his opponent did as well." In reality this translates to: "Oh of course. I would love for taxpayers to foot the bill as long as the Republicans won't make an example out of me."

If you can't win an election, take it to the courts. It worked for Lenin, it worked for Hitler. Failing this attempt, how will it be until they take it to the streets and resort to violence?
