Ballot Access News ^ | November 24, 2017 | Richard Winger

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein still plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Johnson v Commission on Presidential Debates, their case using federal anti-trust law to attack the exclusionary policy of the Commission on Presidential Debates. Their cert petition was originally due at the end of November, but the Court has granted an extension to file. The cert petition is now due December 27.

So whose fault does Jill Stein think it is that SHE lost?

Why don’t these two just get married?

I support anything that increases the effectiveness of the Green Party.

They will never become large enough to be a real threat, but they can get big enough to siphon a meaningful number of votes away from the Dems like the Libertarians tend to siphon more votes away from the Pubbies.

Plus this same crap was used to keep Alan Keyes out of the public eye.

I support people hosting debates to be as exclusionary as they want to be.
Unless they use the public airways, or a network maintained using easements.

Yes, turnabout is fair play. Leftists have supported Losertarians for many years to drain votes from Republicans. In many cases that tactic allowed the ‘RAT candidate to win.

Two straw candidates, both of whom were running to bleed off middle of the road vots that would (and mostly did) otherwise go to Donald Trump, waste more of the court's time and Soros' money. Thanks TBP.

Careful what you wish for.

The Greens are a true globalist force; and they hold a lot of power in several countries, outside the USA.

While they might not look like much now, that could change overnight. The global Green Party are like dandelions. You can pull them all out of your yard — but, if your neighbour has a patch, they will find their way onto your yard in force. The global MSM, social media and academia all carry their seed, and the rhizome of globalization connects them at a deeper level.

Remember, the USA once had a ‘Democratic-Republican Party’. These things change.

There’s no way for anyone to know that, but regardless, that’ isn’t what I said. Both of those fake candidates were running in order to usher in the age of Hillary — naturally that wasn’t going to work, but they believed their own polling and think tanks.

That makes no sense. Stein is far left, she didn’t run to help Hillary she ran cause she’s a true believer psychopath and her presence in the race certainly didn’t didn’t help Hillary.
