Senate Democrats to hold Super PAC hearings

[Tx4obama]

Washington (CNN) - Senate Democrats announced Tuesday they will hold hearings beginning later this month examining what they see as the negative impact of super PACs on the election process.

They also will work to develop legislation to require the disclosure of all donors to the increasingly powerful political organizations.

At the hearings, Democrats will ask organizers and possibly donors to testify.

"The more the public learn about this, the more reviled they will be about what's happening," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York. "That involves having hearings and asking people why they gave and what motivated them. Showing people the affects."

3. "Reviled"?

Perhaps "revolted"? "Repulsed"?

Unless, of course, having the public learn about this triggers a fit of anti-public vituperation and vitriole.

"Showing people the affects"? The emotional temperaments that the donors have? Or the temperaments and emotional/mental states of the people? Or perhaps he means "effects"--and I hope that it's the reporter (sic) misinterpreting a schwa more than something that Shumer or his aid(e)s vetting.

4. is Chuck right, now?

"The more the public learn about this, the more reviled they will be about what's happening,"

....or is he right like when he voted to kill Glass Steagall?

"That involves having hearings..."

....no need to explain any further
