Rules 3 and 4 are no more contradictory than the rules for running for judge in Washington State. The Ethical Canons require that the judicial candidate not know who contributes to his/her campaign. The Public Disclosure Commission rules require that the candidate, and no one else, certify under penalty of perjury that the reports of who contributed to his/her campaign are accurate and complete. Now, just how in hell is anybody supposed to abide by both rules?

Hmmm. Yes, I can see the problem. So what do you actually do to avoid/evade the contradiction, Padre?
