But Elaine Kamarck, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington, who wrote a book about the presidential nominating process and is also a member of the Democratic National Committee’s rulemaking arm, said that courts have consistently stayed out of political primaries as long as parties running them weren’t doing anything that would contradict other constitutional rights, such as voter suppression based on race.
“This is very clear constitutionally that this is in the party’s purview,” Kamarck said in an interview before the debate. “The business of nominating someone to represent a political party is the business of the political party.”
Interesting post there. As others have noted, Biden has way more than enough delegates to win on the first ballot.
But wait. Perhaps the DNC could meet next month and change the rules: Delegates no longer have to vote for their pledged candidates on the first ballot. They are free agents from the start.
That might work…if Biden’s pledged delegates are more loyal to the party than to him personally.
Nope.
In fact, Rutabaga CANNOT be taken off the ballots in WI or NV, and within 4 weeks, not off GA either.
In SC, he can’t be removed at all after the primary.
She’s an idiot and the DemoKKKrats are screwed.
