All Sixteen Full-Time Judges of the Sixth Circuit Hear Case on How Much Money Parties Can Spend on their Own Nominees

on Wednesday, June 12, all sixteen full-time judges of the Sixth Circuit heard arguments in National Republican Senatorial Committee v Federal Election Commission, 24-3051.  The issue is the McCain-Feingold law that limits how much money parties can spend on their own nominees, in federal elections.  The U.S. Supreme Court had upheld that law in the past, as applied to Instances when the parties directly coordinate with their own nominees.   But the vote was 5-4.  The Republican Party’s Senatorial campaign committee filed a new lawsuit in 2022, hoping that eventually the case will reach the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court will modify or reverse its earlier ruling.

The case was before all full-time judges of the Sixth Circuit, because the case was filed in Ohio and the McCain-Feingold law says challenges to the law will be heard first in a court of appeals, with all judges participating.  These en banc hearings are rare, because they require so much judicial time and effort.

Here is a story about the hearing.

  2. @AZ,

    If litigants, including pro se cases, could file in the SCOTUS, they would never have time for anything else. Perhaps the SCOTUS could be expanded to 30 justices, and panels used.

    Do you like to do historical reenacting? Like to cum play?

    I’m going to be urban tent camping in Chicago and Milwaukee with some cool Palestinian Intifada and Yippie Hippie and 1960s radical reenactors , groovy antifas, some Chinese People’s army dudes – they’re so cute and adorable – ivy league students and grads, some professional agitators (mostly 20s and 30s but all ages), slut walkers, rainbow pride party people, tons of trans kids and drag queens, more newcomers from all over the world than you can shake your stick at, these super hot Burn Loot Murder dudes that are totally gangsta with big Ds…it will be like the best most epicest party ever!

    Don’t worry if you are an oldperson. We love oldpersons. They are super adorable. We’ll totally elder care and give awesome sponge baths.

    Plus the best part, like even if you don’t really need the money, George Soros and Comrade Xi are paying! Nice!

    How’s your summer looking? I’m doing naked selfies and slutty duck lips with a mirror, keffiyeh, gas mask, two umbrellas, combat boots, and strap on big D with a fake furry rainbow donkey tail in the back, and I look crazy hot!

    What do you say?

    Ps no worries if you have a partner, bring them too! Kids and companion animals super welcome!
