The Bush campaign’s petition for a preliminary injunction against hostile 527 groups in the case Bush-Cheney ’04, Inc. v. FEC was denied. Apparently, the fact that the Bush complaint was over 500 pages long caused Judge James Robertson to view the petition with skepticism, since it could not be processed expediently before the election and there is no statutory requirement to force the Federal Election Commission to move quickly on the complaint. It’s unlikely there will be time for further court challenges before the election, so look forward to more truly high-level discourse on the airwaves.
