Press coverage of PredictIt’s lawsuit against the CFTC has been wanting. Online news coverage is disproportionately covering PredictIt and the CFTC as a gambling or legal story, rather than a political one. Yahoo even classified one of the Aristotle press releases under “Entertainment.”
Below is a short timeline of events and media coverage, followed by the case dockets for Clarke v. CFTC in both the U.S. District Court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Click on the document number to view a PDF of that court document(s).
