On July 15, the Federal Election Commission asked that Better for America not be permitted to file an amicus curiae brief in Level the Playing Field v FEC. Better for America is the group that hopes to recruit a prominent conservative to run for president as an independent this year. The FEC says it is too late for any more amicus briefs, because all the briefs of the parties to the case have been submitted.
Better for America is seriously behind the eight ball.
