A federal judge in North Carolina has refused to grant an injunction blocking Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules for the Committee for Truth in Politics (CTP) in the case Koerber v. FEC. Earlier, the judge said he would not rule until after the election. The case challenges the constitutionality of disclosure requirements for electioneering communications and also challenges the FEC's policy regarding when a group becomes a "political committee."M CTP sponsored television ads criticizing presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) for his position on abortion related legislation. The Judge found that the FEC's position is in line with the Supreme Court's decision in the Wisconsin Right to Life case.
