[Lnc-business] LNC v. FEC - decision and next steps

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

In for a penny, in for a pound.  I would like to note that I was opposed to
this whole thing from the beginning and worry we are throwing good money
after bad.

This is not the debate case (for anyone just quickly reading FEC) - it is a
case about bequests.  And we could have used the bequest money immediately
if we used it in a certain way, and I objected to spending what essentially
was a dead man's gift to fight something.
