Federal Election Commission (08-205), on the constitutionality of federal controls on “electioneering communications” and specifically the regulation of the film, “Hillary: The Movie.” Theodore Olson of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP in Washington D.C. will argue for Citizens United, a Virginia-based conservative advocacy group. Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart will argue for the Federal Election Commission.
