The star witness at the hearing today will be former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who served on the High Court for 35 years. Stevens came out with a new book last week, in which he pitched six amendments to the U.S. Constitution, including proposals on campaign finance. Other witnesses at the hearing will be: acting Federal Election Commission (FEC) Commissioner Donald F. McGahn, political scientist and American Enterprise Institute scholar Norman J. Ornstein, former FEC chair Trevor Potter (also known as Counsel to a number of presidential campaigns and Stephen Colberts superPAC Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow), FEC Vice Chair Ann M. Ravel, and former Democratic National Committee (DNC) general counsel Neil Reiff.
