If they do, I’m voting for Hillary, I will not reward the GOP.
Great news. But what did the court do?
RNC is a private club. there is no first amendment. They use courts and steal voting machines to make their selection process look legitimate. also, since the rules won’t be enforced as outlined in the statute then there are no rules.
have you seen this yet?

According to what I’m reading on twitter, the VA case upholds the right of political parties to set rules for national convention delegate selection and allocation. It affirms 1st Amendment rights to require delegates be bound to primary results and makes clear delegates are bound under national party rules. RNC rules bind the delegates. That did not change.
FReepers are hyperventilating again without understanding.
This means that state law can’t determine internal Republican Party rules. Nothing has changed with binding delegate votes by party, not state, rules.
The case made during appeal will be that since the state pays for the primary, the state can bind the results by law. Interesting, but won’t change the convention vote one bit.
Yes.
Is Sean Spicer pro-Trump?
If this spirals out of control, there will be a revolt of historical proportions.
I don’t if the Trump team has a backup plan, but it might be a good idea to prepare for a convention fight.
Appeal, amnd revoke Correll’s credentials.
the convention is next week and this will not be litigated in time.
If Trump wins with more delegates, even excluding VA’s. then the decision is moot.
I read the decision, and it all BS.
Shame on the Federal Court for even taking this case.
This is NOT a First Amendment case.
Delegates are not in free association or members of conscience—they are appointed to serve a specific purpose.
Besides they are released by the rules on the second ballot anyway.
The decision is tortured legal reasoning that has no business being taken seriously.
Yes. Sean Spicer is in charge of the 2016 GOP Convention. I have not read anything by him that suggests is against Trump. Quite the opposite.
That may well be, Cheerio.
Dark forces are in motion here, and their intent is ill.

Got this link from one of us.
This cannot stand or we are doomed as a republic.
“This means that state law can’t determine internal Republican Party rules. Nothing has changed with binding delegate votes by party, not state, rules.”
So clearly stated!
Say, here’s some REAL convention news:
“Rejecting policy both American parties have embraced for decades, the Republican Party moved Monday to approve a platform that does not include a call for a two-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
The new language, approved by a large majority of votes in the platform subcommittee, omits any reference to a solution which would establish an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, according to the text of the document...”

Still has to go through the full committee and a vote by the delegates.
Congress has the power to remove a supreme court justice?
