The defense is essentially saying the DNC does not control the state parties and, in fact, some states do not have formal party organizations.

The plaintiff has a really flakey theory based upon consumer legislation in DC. Carrying the plaintiff’s notion forward, the Bernie bots essentially expected pay-to-play for their donations.

This case will go no where, IMHO.

Hope the lawyers collected a very large retainer at the front-end. The performance and delivery looks remarkably mediocre.

Once again, certain democrats are not accountable to anyone.

You are misrepresenting what was argued to the detriment of the rule of law.

The first defense is that the bylaws of the DNC are the DNC's internal affair not enforceable by a court of law. But an association's bylaws constitute a contract between its members and is enforceable as are all written contracts in a court of law.
