"For the foregoing reasons, judgment will be entered in Correll'sfavor on Counts I and II and the Commonwealth will be permanently enjoined from enforcing Va.Code§ 24.2-545(0)."
Federal Court just UNBOUND the delegates for Virgina.

One man's opinion, but it ALL boils down to ... we'd BETTER get a grip on ourselves.
These judges better watch out. At some point it will become open season on judges.
Isn’t this up to the party? It is a private entity - I don’t see how the courts have any jurisdiction over this.
“Correll filed the Amended Complaint, which does not include Democrat delgates in the putative class.”
Judicial usurpation and tyrant!!
These bastards are determined to rule the country from the judicial bench.
there is only the establishment party that controls DC and it’s all trickle down from there
Do away with delegates voting for the nomination if the majority has been reached prior to the convention. The delegates are irrelevant.

It amazes me how these Republicans will file suit, play dirty, undermine Trump, who won the primaries by the people and yet, they fold, wimper, cave to Democrats.
So they continue to force feed us their crap on a spoon. I will vote their butts out next round of Reps and Senators because what is the point if they are going to screw us in the end? We gave them both houses and this is what they do to us?
Writing is on the wall. This is going to bad for us, they will put in their own person, Bush, Romney or Ryan.
Virginia will serve as the precedent setting ruling that will give cause to all other imperious states to challenge the First Ballot Rule of the Convention.
Either the delegate system has to go, or the primary election becomes a dead letter, and has to go.
They can no longer both co-exist with the other.
The Judiciary is assisting in bringing tyranny to America, in the name of conscience.
Funny there is no regard for “conscience” with respect to a bakery in Indiana, a Christian owned business, who was forced to serve queers cake in their “wedding”, or close.
Pense was no help whatsoever. A milquetoast, squish.
It’s my understanding that under current convention rules that delegates are “deemed” to have voted for the candidate that won their state regardless of how they actually vote or even vote at all. Virginia just had a second layer of protection that barred delegates from voting for another candidate or abstaining. This ruling might strike down that state protection but it has no control over how the party counts or does not count the votes...
Like father, like son.

Here’s his law firm:
I thought that the political parties make their own rules.
Thank you!
The presidential nominating process that the country now uses was forced on us by the constitutionally undefined political parties and has little to do with the process that the Founding States had enumerated in the Constitution.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 2: Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
12th Amendment: The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; ..."
Many patriots probably think that the presidential nomination processes of the political parties are constitutional only because they grew up with them.
The political parties exist to control 10th Amendment-protected state powers and uniquely associated state revenues that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states for many generations.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trumps vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and unconstitutional federal interference in state affairs.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
so now JUDGES are scared of Trump. This is getting very good.
Where is it for the court to tell the state and the party how to run their primaries? More and more I think we see the judiciary running the country. We need a balance-maybe new judges that respect their role vis-a-vis the constitution, the executive, and the legislative branches.
The communists fear Trump.
Though the complaint is long, this lawsuit essentially amounts to those two questions. The rest of it is just a series of distractions. State law simply is not the guiding force over delegate selection and allocation in Virginia, though there is the potential for prosecution on the grounds of violating the binding established in that law. Decided narrowly, a federal court could deem the state penalty unconstitutional. But the Republican Party of Virginia has measures in place to bind the delegates without that. That is an in-house, intra-party battle the courts have generally been unwilling to weigh in on, leaving it up to the party to settle. And the matter will be settled at the convention in Cleveland, starting with the Convention Committee on Rules.

Please explain ... I’m not good with legalese, but this has turned into a scary thread.
not to denigrate your comment and this sounds negative but here are two points of reality; if our votes made a difference, the ruling elite would not allow us to vote and once they have disarmed us that will all change. The establishment that rules DC has been screwing us for a long time and there is no end in sight.
