So the Nevada Supreme Court has ordered a hearing for 1:30 p.m. local time (4:30 p.m. ET) to address NBC's appeal. It will last 30 minutes, after which we'll know whether or not Dennis Kucinich will have his chance to speak truth to Brian Williams. (See the court's oral argument order here .)

If he doesn't get to participate, Kucinich will find a way to broadcast his answers to the debate questions live to his Web site. "That’s his Plan B," said spokeswoman Sharon Manitta.
