  •  Does this fit "within the rules"? (0+ / 0-)

    I suspect not.

    Nevertheless, I have every expectation that there will be no solution to this assanine situation.

    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

      I can't imagine the rules matter a great deal any more.  A logical solution is what is needed and this is logical.

      •  If the rules didn't matter (0+ / 0-)

        we wouldn't be in this situation.

      •  yes it does (0+ / 0-)

        the rules committee absolutely has the ability to take away only the unpledged delegates from the state as a punishment.

         However if there is a revote that the DNC agrees meets their "rules", then it might be a gray area about whether technically there is anything left that justifies the penalty of removing the superdelegates under the rules.  I imagine there is something about conduct detrimental to the party, but that is not the kind of thing you like to invoke.
