    Do I understand correctly that “equal time” in a primary would mean giving equal time to the Jasmine Crocket? Because honestly, I don’t really see the downside.

    Im fact, I believe Colbert said he’s interviewed her twice already.

      Laws like this only work if they are uniformly enforced.

      The shell game is when the enforcement agency or parent company takes initiative during an election cycle versus when they choose not to. (top down enforcement) You can certainly complain from the bottom up and take it to court, but by the time it gets litigated the election is already over.
