The U.S. Supreme Court will consider on March 25 whether to hear Green Party of Connecticut v Lenge, 10-795. This is the case that concerns Connecticut’s public funding law, which discriminates heavily against independent candidates and the candidates of new political parties. The U.S. District Court had struck down the discriminatory parts, but the 2nd circuit had reinstated them in a 2-1 opinion.
Is this good news?
Every case filed in the US Supreme Court gets a conference date, so it is just normal. But it is good news in the sense that it is progress, and we will probably know whether the court will hear this case, less than 3 weeks from now.
