U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear General Election Presidential Debates Case

On March 22, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Level the Playing Field v Federal Election Commission, 20-649. The plaintiffs included the Libertarian Party and the Green Party. The case challenged the FEC’s determination that the Commission on Presidential Debates is not breaking federal campaign laws when the Commission pays for the costs of general election debates with contributions from corporations. Federal law does not allow corporations to donate to federal candidates.

U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear General Election Presidential Debates Case — 36 Comments

  1. FEC- one of the many Fed parts having TYRANT legis/exec/judic powers —

    due to the ANTI-Democracy gerrymander hacks in the USA congress.

  2. The Commission on Presidential Debates is now free to continue its exclusionary policy.

  3. Darryl Perry,
    Richard Winger,
    The US Supreme Court has left the Libertarian Party and the Green party one choice.
    Top Six/PLAS.
    Thank you US Supreme Court for forcing those two parties to listen to what I said at least 12 years ago (2008).
    Or continue to lose en masse.

  4. FCI Butner, NC for the criminally insane!
    No, No, No!
    Dr. Chris Norris Discharged him, the Mad man!
    To FCI Raybrook, for the soon to be released,
    Back into society!
    Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha!

  5. Do not allow the Mad man to be released back into society!
    4246 him!
    18 USC Section 4246. Hospitalization of a person due for release but suffering from mental disease or defect.
    No, wait! You are over 30 years too late!
    You no longer have Habeas Corpus!
    Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha!

  6. Did Wilhelm Reich really die in the Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg, PA in 1957?
    Yes Robert.
    Hey, I am not schizophrenic.
    I know, Robert. Neither am I.
    Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha.

  7. Oh my goodness.
    What has this Mad man been doing in over thirty years since being released into unsuspecting society?
    Has he harassed any more tv news anchors or threatened their husbands? No.
    Well surely if a criminal mastermind he has robbed a bank or cat burgled jewels? No.
    Started a drug cartel? No.
    Burned down a building for shits and giggles? No. Blown up a building for shits and giggles? No.
    Stabbed anybody? No. Shot anybody? No. Run anybody over? No. He’s not Palestinian.
    What, then?
    Well. he went to CA to try to find a fistful of nuggets!?
    Well he did find a few flakes and fines. Oh.
    And he did create a strategy for the Green and Libertarian parties to win the elections and sweep out the democrats and republicans. But nobody listened. Oh.
    Well at least he never got married and had children to pass on his mental illness and genetic defects. Oh good.

  8. Like I said many times: If the six most significant parties that cover the entire political spectrum had full or nearly full ballot access nationwide the polling on all six would level out.
    To approximately leftist Green 27%, rightist Constitution 27%, left leaning centrist Democrat 17%, right leaning centrist republican 17%, extreme rightist/ neither left nor right/both left and right Libertarian 13%, centrist Reform/Alliance X/unknown/variable%.
    Since the debate cutoff is 15%, most if not all should make that cutoff.
    Since we cannot expect any judicial or legislative or executive order for relief or rich people to accomplish this, the third parties must and should be able to help each other to get on all ballots.

  9. And here I was going to ask you where you got the mistaken notion that I’m pro-Israel…

  10. So “Lawful Turanny,” you really are this big of a jerk in real life, and you don’t just play one online?

  11. Who is Robbert Larson?

    I do not think I have ever heard of Robbert being spelled with two b’s.

  12. Andy,

    Am I a jerk? My ex-wife sure thinks so, but then she had 27 years and 8 pregnancies to help form her opinion. A bunch of low life skells I arrested think so too, and a few dozen jihadists who are burning in hell right now. One thing all of them have in common is a basis to think I’m a jerk. What’s your basis, other than me having some politically incorrect views? I’m not the one who has accused you of being a troll or other people, it’s been the other way around. I’m clean and sober, so I’m pretty sure I didn’t forgetting peeing in your lucky charms or anything. What did I do to you or in my comments here, to make you think I’m such a big jerk?

  13. I’m not playing any character, just being me. What is it that makes you think I’m such a jerk?

  14. Maybe Andy Whatever is the fake character. He sure doesn’t like to provide any proof or evidence of his claims, including even his last name.

  15. IIRC Andy described his last name.
    Jacobs of Dutch Ancestry.
    My last name is of British ancestry.
    Northern England, Southern Scotland.
    Now it is your turn.

  16. Mine is Andy Too, which comes from my Chinese paternal grandfather. My other three grandparents were of various European descent…English, Irish, Scottish, Italian, Jewish, Portuguese and Norwegian, possibly other kinds of European as well. I’ll take Andy Not Gonzalez Maybe Jacobs Maybe Not at his own word as far as his last name or ancestry. So far I’ve only seen him deny what multiple other people claim his last name is, and claim he posted his real name before, but I’ve never seen it and he still hasn’t posted it when asked or provided a link. So I’ll take claims about his name coming from others as dubious unless and until he confirms or denies them.
