A federal judge today denied a motion by Reform Party presidential candidate Ross Perot to stop the presidential debates next week unless he is allowed to participate. Attornies for Perot and Natural Law Party candidate John Hagelin argued that it was unconstitutional for them to be excluded from the debates because they met all of the objective criteria set out by the Commission on Presidential Debates. NPR's Kathleen Schalch reports.
