Green Party, Stein, others to file suit against Commission on Presidential Debates

The Green Party, presidential candidate Jill Stein, the Libertarian Party, and others will file suit in U.S. District Court in Washington on September 29 alleging “that the Commission on Presidential Debates is in violation of the venerable old anti-trust laws, the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act,” Ballot Access News reports.

The lawsuit, expected to by styled Libertarian National Committee v. Commission on Presidential Debates, “should not be confused with Level the Playing Field v Commission on Presidential Debates,” which “argues that the Commission on Presidential Debates violates federal campaign finance laws, because the debates and the Commisison are funded by corporations.”
