Nevada Supreme Court rules against Kucinich in debate dispute
LAS VEGAS – A lower court order that Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich be included in a MSNBC candidate debate Tuesday was tossed out a few hours before the debate by the Nevada Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court’s unanimous order said that blocking the debate unless Kucinich got to participate would be “an unconstitutional prior restraint†on the news network’s First Amendment rights.

Are you sure? Kucinich won the appeal?
Nope. He’s not in.
No I wasn’t sure, that’s why I added that the source was Buzzflash. They cite Tom Curry of MSNBC. I can’t find this on the MSNBC site.
