"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)."

I’ve got to learn how to post here! :^D
Good grief. The delegates are appointed by whom?
It’s not the state. It’s the members of the party, who support the specific candidate - except where Trump didn’t participate and secure his guys as delegates...which isn’t enough to matter.
Absolutely perfect !
Yes I am laughing out loud at the wording!
How is that a problem? I mean this time if they are bound, they are bound to Trump if primary went for Trump? Right?
What can’t stand? Literacy? Historical Constitutional understanding? Eek.
That is true, however, it WAS a federal court that just overturned a state delegate rule. A higher federal court is the fastest place to turn for an injunction.
Cmon. I’ve seen your writing. I know you can read.
This is precisely the opposite. It’s slapping the camels nose out of there.
Craven poltroons of the GOPe only know how to cave and surrender. It takes a Democrat to steal. Therefore I’m not worried. They wouldn’t dare try to take this thing from Trump. From the people.
And in whose favor? Romney’s? LOL. Jeb’s? Last I heard, neither Romney nor Bush will even be attending.
I’ll start worrying in November when the votes are being counted by Democrats.
There is nothing unconstitutional about a state law requiring dlegates to be bound, as long as ALL political parties are covered by the same law.
Any State has a compelling interest to ensure the results of state primaries are carried out properly.
This is a 10th amendment matter, and the Federal Court has no jurisdicton here.
If you read the opinion, they had to invent a tortuous path to even opine on the subject.
The VA primary was March 1st.
Correll won election as a delegate in April, 2016, knowing full well the results of the primary election.
Then he claimed his First Amendment rights were being violated, which is complete crap.
No harm has come to Correlll, as the convention has not been held. But the Court butted in because there a reasonable expectation of prosecution if Correll followed his conscience.
The Court should have thrown the case out because Correll obviously became a delegate under false pretenses, and thus had no standing to sue for anything, especially since he suffered no harm to date.
So where will this idiot judge’s logic lead over time? Can the same argument be applied to the Electoral College?
If this keeps up Americans will have to start voting with a bullet instead of a ballot.
This AZ voter says “way to go Chairman Graham.”
Thanks for posting Hildy.
We look forward to hearing from you on scene in Cleveland.
This will be stayed by the court of appeals. This is democrat mischief. The people of Virginia DID NOT VOTE FOR FREE AGENTS!! They voted agents to do their will. We need to impeach THIS JUDGE!!
If you follow, it is not Trump supporters...it is Cruz supporters in states that elected Trump as winner in primary
/sarc not appreciated.
GO TRUMP GO TRUMP GO TRUMP!! CRUSH THEM!!
We are quickly heading toward Civil War II
Maybe patriots should join with the BLM and take over the government. Then we can sort out our differences at the victory party.
Note to NSA: I’m joking.
“The people of Virginia DID NOT VOTE FOR FREE AGENTS!! They voted agents to do their will.”
Well stated.
The same argument already applies to the Electoral college. Hillary delegates can vote for anyone they want...but why would they choose anyone else unless between their election as a delegate from a slate of Hillary supporters and their vote she does something so heinous that they’d turn on her. That’s a valid freedom for them to have. Always has been.
