TV (FOX): CAC’s Elizabeth Wydra Discusses Caperton on on Fox News Channel
Constitutional Accountability Center’s (CAC) Chief Counsel, Elizabeth Wydra, appeared on Fox News to discuss Caperton v. Massey Coal, a case concerning judicial accountability that is set to be argued before the Supreme Court tomorrow. CAC has filed an amicus brief in this case in support of the petitioner, Hugh Caperton, on behalf of Justice at Stake and 27 other public interest advocacy groups. The brief argues that the text and history of the Fourteenth Amendment require that Justice Brent Benjamin have recused himself from hearing the appeal of a $50 million verdict, in which the CEO of the appealing company was a major campaign contributor in Benjamin’s election.
