{mosads}The popular commentator, not known for walking away from an argument, ignored Van Hollen, hammering Whitehouse most of the morning over his campaign finance legislation, the Disclose Act.
The Senate is slated to vote to end debate on the new Disclose Act on Monday, which would require corporations, unions and other political spenders to report campaign expenditures above $10,000.
Many Democrats took to Twitter to voice their support for the bill and questioned their Republican colleagues’ commitment to transparency.
GOP members of Congress stayed mostly quiet on the vote, which is expected to fall largely along party lines. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), one Republican that the Democrats had hoped would sign on to the bill, has objected, similarly to Malkin, to favorable treatment for pro-Democratic unions.
Other right-leaning organizations and media figures made no secret of their opposition to the legislation.
