Tom Campbell has this op-ed in the Orange County Register, suggesting that the new lawsuit against the Commission on Presidential Debates, which depends on antitrust law, has merit.

Campbell was once director of the antitrust arm of the Federal Trade Commission. He also has taught antitrust law since 1983. He is now dean of the Fowler School of Law at Chapman University. He is a former member of Congress and was the Republican Party’s nominee for U.S. Senate from California in 2000.

The lawsuit is Gary Johnson v Commission on Presidential Debates, filed on September 28 in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. 1:15cv-1580. The Commission hasn’t responded to the lawsuit yet. The Commission has received permission from the court to delay its response until December 8.
