The Las Vegas Review-Journal political notebook of June 29 has a few paragraphs about Wayne Allyn Root. See here (scroll down). The piece mentions his upcoming book, “The Conscience of a Libertarian: Empowering the Citizen Revolution With God, Guns, Gambling and Tax Cuts.” It also quotes Root as saying he will be the first Nevadan as a Presidential candidate. Actually, 1992 Libertarian Party presidential nominee Andre Marrou was a residence of Nevada, although earlier he had been an Alaskan state legislator.
The U.S. Supreme Court released two opinions today, but the election law case was not decided. Citizens United v FEC will be re-argued on September 9, 2009. The Court wants both sides to argue whether the Court should overrule Austin v Michigan State Chamber of Commerce and McConnell v Federal Election Commission. Austin v Michigan State Chamber of Commerce was decided in 1990 and said that the federal government may prohibit corporations from using treasury funds to support or oppose candidates in elections. McConnell v Federal Election Commission was decided in 2003 and upheld a ban on corporations using treasury funds to pay for any broadcast ad that mentions a candidate for federal office within 60 days of an election.
