The weasel writing the article is aware of the rule you cite (binding delegates) and writes of how he sees a way around it. From the article:

"{Rule 16(a)(2)} will expire upon the start of the 2016 convention" and it "would have to {be} adopted by a vote of the RNC Rules Committee in Cleveland before it even applied to this year's delegates."

The weasels are planning their treason to play out during the meeting of the 2016 Convention Rules Committee the week before the Convention begins. BE ALERT!

Except that Rule 42 doesn't call out Rule 16 as a temporary rule. One could argue that Rule 16 is out of scope for the Convention Rules Committee via Rule 42.

That said, the rules will be whatever is most advantageous to the entrenched elite unless Trump can force enough pressure on them.

He lies tho, the Rules committee only proposes rules, They do not go into effect until the Convention Delegates vote on them. So the Rule is still in effect when they meet. If they violate section ii at the meeting of the rules committee this rule tosses them out voids their trickery, etc. Until the Convention votes to adopt new rules the old rules are still in effect.
