Federal Election Commission Needs a Second Extension of Time for Debates Lawsuit

The Federal Election Commission had originally been scheduled to file a response to the presidential debates lawsuit on December 14, 2020. But it had asked the U.S. Supreme Court for more time, and the new deadline was to have been January 13. But now the FEC has again asked for, and received, another extension. Now the FEC response is due February 12.

The case is Level the Playing Field v FEC, 20-649. The co-plaintiffs include the Libertarian National Committee and the Green Party. The issue is whether the FEC is failing to enforce federal campaign finance law when it allows the Commission on Presidential Debates to exclude everyone except the Republican and Democratic nominees.

  1. The FEC is treading lightly because a wrong move could result in another Citizens United type decision from the Supreme Court that debate organizes have 1st Amendment rights.

  2. yes Robert we all know you hate jews and think murdering them is “self-defense”

  3. Brandon Lyon,
    Have you read the brief?
    It is on my website. Either you have not read it or you got it at least partially wrong.
    It has been over two years.
    Why haven’t they proceeded on this in violation of defendant’s right to a speedy trial?
    Why have I heard NOTHING other than received certified mail return receipts?
    Somebody got those briefs.
