On May 31, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the Christian Civic League of Maine’s (CCLM) motion to stay proceedings in CCLM v. FEC. A motion to stay proceedings freezes/suspends the proceedings in a case, usually allowing for one of the parties to correct an action that the court has required them to perform.On May 9, court denied the CCLM's request for a preliminary injunction. The court reasoned that CCLM could have paid for the ad out of their PAC funds, or taken Sen. Snowe's name, who is up for reelection, out of the ad.
