On September 10th, Opponents of Alaska Campaign Finance Limits, filed a Brief, Thompson v Hebdon, 17-35019.

The Case concerns Alaska’s Cap on $3,000 that any Candidate may Receive from Individuals living Outside Alaska.

It also concerns the Alaska $500 Limit on Contributions from an Individual to a Candidate, or to a Party.

The Ninth Circuit Panel had Invalidated these Laws, and the State had Not asked for a Full Hearing (En Banc).

But then One full-time Judge of the Ninth Circuit, arranged to have the Panel ask both Sides whether the Case should be Reheard.

Opponents of the Limits, is arguing the Case should Not be Reheard.
