Connecticut Asks U.S. Supreme Court for a Month’s Delay in Filing Response in Public Funding Case

The U.S. Supreme Court will decide next year whether to hear Green Party of Connecticut v Lenge, 10-795.  This the case on discriminatory public funding.  The state has asked to delay its response from January 14, 2011, to February 14, and the Court has granted the state’s request.

The Court will hear oral arguments in the other case involving public funding of candidates on March 28, 2011.  The other case is from Arizona, a state that does not discriminate against minor party and independent candidates in its public funding system.  The issue in the Arizona case is whether the system violates the Constitution by giving extra public funding to certain candidates, depending on the finances of that candidate’s privately-funded opponents.
