U.S. Supreme Court Sets Conference Date for Arizona Public Funding Case

The U.S. Supreme Court will probably decide on November 23, Tuesday, whether to hear McComish v Bennett, 10-239.  This is the case involving public funding of state campaigns in Arizona.  The issue is the constitutionality of extra public funding, for publicly funded candidates who have very well-funded opponents who are not using public funding.

The same issue has arisen this year in cases involving public funding from Maine, Connecticut, and Florida.  The Court doesn’t usually hold conferences on Tuesdays, but that is Thanksgiving week.  It is not clear whether the Court’s decision will be made known on Wednesday, November 24, or the following Monday, November 29.

  1. How about NO public funding for ANY candidate ???

    It just might happen that many voters do NOT want to see or hear the left/right extremist stuff (i.e. TV attack ads) of their political enemies — being financed by taxpayer cash.
