That’s what the rules say. But remember, we had rules for governing the vote in FL in 2000. That didn’t stop the Dems from going to the courts. Rules mean NOTHING to these people. Do you really think if they would flaunt U.S. government and state of Florida rules they would hesitate for a second to ignore Dem convention rules?

My point was that the rules the Clintons seek to bend are merely Democrat Party Rules... they are not law. They are written and executed only by the party officials. They have no standing in law; they would have no standing in a court of law. Any such suit would be dismissed, but the campaigns’ attorneys would know that and not file suit. The problem can be resolved only through Democrat Party mechanisms.

The fight for the Democrat nomination is not comparable to Florida 2000. That was a general election conducted under the laws of the state, written by the legislature, and governed by the US Constitution. That is what gave the parties standing to go to court.
