From the Campaign Legal Center: On June 12, 2006, the BCRA sponsors, Sens. McCain (R-AZ) and Feingold (D-WI), and Reps. Shays (R-CT) and Meehan (D-MA) filed a motion for partial judgment in Christian Civic League of Maine v. FEC. Rep. Tom Allen (D-ME) is also a defendant intervenor with the BCRA sponsors and joined in the motion. The motion urged the three-judge court to enter a partial judgment in favor of the defendants with regard to unspecified, hypothetical broadcast ads that the Maine group claims it plans to run in future elections. We informed the court also that the motion could be decided whenever the court decides the case on the merits. The district court denied the Maine group a preliminary injunction, a decision which is presently on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
