How can Pluto not be a planet anymore? I thought the science was settled?

When Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of Pluto, died, Pluto was still a planet.

Some busybodies decided to demote Pluto, but I think there is still some question whether the proper procedures were followed. Pluto didn't even get a lawyer.
