We gather that the event will be live on the LP YouTube channel. We anticipate covering it. Amici continue to arrive. First section: LPNH Attorney presents. They start at 8:07 PM, slightly late due to technical issues. Moellman reads the rules. He then reads the disaffiliation resolution, which the LNC passed 15-2-1. Ian Huyett presents for LPNH. He asks for…
In our opinion, the matter speaks for itself. Mr. McGee’s new amicus and Mr. Seebeck’s original amicus are definitive. They both support the LNC position against the LPNH position. For those not fond of PDFs, the McGee amicus reads: Amicus Brief of Jonathan McGee in Support of the Libertarian National Committee Introduction Seven amici have now filed in this matter…

The LNC met. The treasurer reported on June finances, which were, in what appeared to be his words, catastrophic. Income was $54,000. Outgo was $320,000. The cash balance fell by $266,000. The LNC voted to increase the legal budget, by $80,000, with $40,000 going to pay past LPNM legal bills and mediation expenses and $40,000 for litigation expenses against the…
Meeting starts at 7:05 PM. Chair calls the meeting to order. The roll is called. Everyone is present except Martin, who is on an airplace and cannot log in. Public comment: Phillies urged that the Affiliate Support Committee support individual libertarians in places that have no affiliate. Others supported better support for affiliates and for tribal nations. Starchild speaks up…
