The U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, will hear Level the Playing Field v Federal Election Commission, 19-5117, on Monday, February 24, 2020. This is the case over presidential general election debates, and whether the FEC has failed to enforce federal campaign finance laws against the Commission on Presidential Debates. Federal law forbids corporations from making donations to federal candidates, and the plaintiffs argue that the Commission, which receives most of its funding from corporations, is in violation of this law because in essence, the Commission is contributing to the campaigns of the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees, and against all other presidential candidates.
