The lawsuit McComish v Brewer, which challenged the part of Arizona public funding that gives extra public funds to candidates who have well-funded opponents who aren’t using the public funding system, is likely to receive attention from the 9th circuit any day now.

The U.S. District Court Judge had invalidated part of the public funding law. The judge had also said that because she couldn’t seperate the valid parts of the program from the invalid parts, the entire program is suspended for now. But she stayed her own order to give the 9th circuit time to review her work. In the 9th circuit, the case is number 10-15165, and also 10-15166. This newspaper story says the 9th circuit has already taken some temporary action in the case, but according to the 9th circuit clerk’s office, the newspaper story is incorrect and the 9th circuit has done nothing so far with the case.
