No, it's not obfuscating the issue. It's libertarians doing what they supposedly don't like - using the court system to interject themselves where the law doesn't allow them to be. It's just as bad as the lame democratic challenges to the florida results - use whatever tenuous links you can find to get a court hearing and hope you find a sympathetic ear.
Of course it is.

Wrong on both counts. libertarians are not opposed to the court system. And where you got the bizarre idea that law doesn't allow suit to address grievances is anyone's guess.
Flashbunny - They sued to prevent ASU from using PUBLIC money (Taxpayer dollars) to host this debate. They are not whining "I should be there!". The lawsuit itself while prompted by the exclusion is more about the proper use of taxpayer money and the procedures by which ASU funds public/private events on the campus. By their own admission ASU doesn't have enough PRIVATE money in pledges to cover even the ESTIMATED budget of the event, which would lead to the university being responsible for the remaining costs. Since the University is funded by taxpayers, the extra costs would then be paid by the taxpayers money.
Let them (ASU & CPD) show the judge they have collected enough private money to cover the debate and the extra security, etc... and there's assumingly not a problem then. If taxpayer dollars are going to be used, then they'd better buy a third chair...
The Libertarians are not suing to be included. They are suing to prevent the use of taxpayer dollars to fund a PRIVATE event!
