What was the point of having a primary then? Both political parties need to be outlawed.

Votes by people do not matter — according to this ruling, which invalidates the votes of millions.

Is this court declaring that the past 150 years of primary selection were unconstitutional and only NOW we're doing it right?

SCOTUS would at best deadlock 4-4.

Grab the pitchforks and get ready to rumble.

I’ll vote with a ballot or a bullet.

These people are saying my ballot doesn’t count.

Bad choice.

I suspect that 2016 is not going to end well for America.

I think it has to go to the judge over that area for a stay.

I also think the democrats have an issue with Hillary and Bernie if they rule that delegates aren’t bound, and especially with Clinton now losing to Trump in Florida.

Popcorn time. I wonder (and could figure it out if I decided to take the time) what this changes, if anything. So what if the state can't enforce the law? The issue is how the party handles the delegates, not how the state handles the delegates.

Tar, feathers, pitchforks and nooses for the judges!

The voters votes were just overridden by a robed traitor!

We are quickly heading toward Civil War II, which is long overdue. The People are being told by the courts and other parts of all levels of government, along with the major parties, that their votes don’t mean jack shit. The People are getting angrier and angrier. The Republican National Convention will be a bloodbath if the nomination is stolen from Trump.

A large part of the problem is the RNC changed rule 16 in 2014 removing almost all of the rules preventing the delegates from voting for anybody other then who they were bound too.
