U.S. Supreme Court Sets Conference Date for Nader v Federal Election Commission

The U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether to hear Nader v Federal Election Commission, 13-556, on November 26. This is the case in which the U.S. Court of Appeals said Ralph Nader didn’t have standing to complain that the FEC didn’t require the Democratic Party to report its expenditures spent to keep Nader off many state ballots in 2004.

The Court probably won’t say what it did at its November 26 conference until December 2. The November 26 conference will also consider Judd v Libertarian Party of Virginia, in which the government of Virginia hopes that the U.S. Supreme Court will review the decision of the lower courts that struck down the ban on out-of-state circulators. Scotusblog on November 12 listed that case as its “petition of the day”, meaning Scotusblog feels there is a reasonable chance that the Court will hear that case.
