[EL] question on history of federal election campaign act litigation

[Richard Winger]

The 1971 federal election campaign act, as amended in 1974, says constitutional challenges to the act, if they are substantial, must go to an en banc panel of the DC circuit.  That procedural was used in Buckley v Valeo.  Has it been used that way since then?
A US District Court in Washington DC just certified the same procedural for the Libertarian National Committee v FEC challenge to the limits to parties, as applied to contributions from bequests.  I hope someone knows what other cases, since Buckley v Valeo, have been to an en banc panel.  I seem to remember Free Speech Now v FEC had that.  Thank you.
