Anti-Trump lawsuits planned to challenge bound delegates
Washibgton Examiner ^ | 6/24/16 | Gabby Morrongiello

Members of the "Free the Delegates" movement are expected to file separate lawsuits in Arizona and Virginia on Friday, challenging the constitutional restraints on binding delegates to a candidate at next month's Republican National Convention.

A source familiar with the forthcoming court filings claimed that some individuals seeking to unbind all 2,472 delegates in Cleveland next month are being intimidated by state-level GOP officials. In some cases, the source said, party leaders have threatened to revoke delegates' credentials to the national convention.

Regina Thomson, who serves as executive director of Free the Delegates, could not be reached for further details. Earlier this week, the group claimed to have more than 300 delegates committed to their effort.

I’d bet he’s in it somewhere, like a scurvy little castle sapper.

No down ballot votes for the GOP!

There you go. I am leaning that way too.

After the Clarence Thomas hearings I vowed never to vote for a single Democrat ever again, but if they keep this up, I will break that vow and vote 'D' down ticket.

Sen. Mike Lee was on MSNBC a minute ago. He’s on the convention rules committee. He gave some very vague answers on whether he thought delegates should be unbound and whether he supports Trump.

Very disturbing that another Cruz crony will not commit :(

I voted a straight GOP ballot in 2014. This November only one Republican gets my vote.

I want to see ALL of the names of the people involved with this. It goes against how the people vote(d).

A citizen voter needs to bring a suit to prevent delegates from doing this. The citizen voters chose Trump. If a delegate is allowed to ignore the citizen votes, then why even have citizens vote?

This must be stopped for that reason alone.

THAT is my opinion, I don’t ask for anyone else’s, and don’t care to...I don’t agree with a lot of people and they don’t agree with me, that’s called THE FIRST AMENDMENT, we still have it as far as I know, or did Barky just take that away also....

And whether I decide to vote again, or not, is MY business, and I don’t need lessons from people who are probably younger than I am...thank you...
