The Salt Lake City Tribune appears to be the first daily newspaper to announce that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein will be suing the Commission on Presidential Debates. The lawsuit will be filed in January 2015. The Salt Lake City Tribune’s interest in the lawsuit is greater than it would normally be, because former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson will be one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs. The article says another attorney on the case is Bruce Fein, who worked for President Ronald Reagan in the past. See the story here.
