Libertarian and Green Parties Will File Anti-Trust Lawsuit Against Commission on Presidential Debates on September 29

The Libertarian Party and the Green Party, and other plaintiffs, will file a federal lawsuit on September 29 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. The Complaint will allege that the Commission on Presidential Debates is in violation of the venerable old anti-trust laws, the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act. The case will present evidence about the considerable economic importance of the general election presidential debates. Other plaintiffs include Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. The Complaint will ask for damages from the Commission on Presidential Debates, and the Obama and Romney campaigns, which had signed an agreement with the Commission agreeing not to participate in any non-Commission general election debates.

This lawsuit has been planned for several years. It will probably be styled Libertarian National Committee v Commission on Presidential Debates, and is being filed by attorney Bruce Fein.

This lawsuit should not be confused with Level the Playing Field v Commission on Presidential Debates, also filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., 1:15cv-1397. That case argues that the Commission on Presidential Debates violates federal campaign finance laws, because the debates and the Commisison are funded by corporations. Federal campaign finance law does not permit corporations to make donations to political campaigns. Corporations may only spend independently of campaigns.

  2. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
    333 Constitution Ave. NW Washington DC 20001

    15-5251-OP

    IN RE: NATURAL BORN CITIZEN PARTY NATIONAL COMMITTEE, ET AL.
    Originating case: USCA-DCC 15-5218, USDC-DCD 15-cv-1036-RJL
    The 2016 presidential election (CINC-POTUS) revolves around the principal issue of ineligible executive action allowing amnesty of illegal aliens and their “anchor babies” so as to dilute the votes of natural born citizens of the Republic of the United States.
    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, by far the least constitutionally impaired senior federal court with regards to nominations since January 2009 oath of office by an unconstitutional non-natural-born-citizen – aka “Barack Obama” the documented son of a non US citizen (i.e. “alien”).
    The Natural Born Citizen Party National Committee, et al., seeks an immediate mandamus transferring to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit the underlying originating case and all related constitutional cases listed in the docket of the originating case Natural Born Citizen Party National Committee et al v FEC et al USDC-DCD 15-cv-1036 RJL.
    And further, including an immediate consolidation before judgment with the pending SCOTUS certiorari amnesty matter: “Arpaio v Obama” USCA DCC 14-5325.

  3. This is wonderful news. How we need to work OUTSIDE the parties of power to effect a true representation of everyday people. Let’s not do politics as usual , but be the change ourselves by getting involved!

    And how we need to remember that the real illegal aliens came to America in 1492.
