These policies would benefit the country more than anyone could imagine. Further they would reduce the number of candidates with Nietzschian "master morality" to a minimum.
Aaahhh.............Dhimmocratic politics.
It all comes down to the lawyers in the end, doesn’t it?
The party of the Lawyers, by the Lawyers, and FOR the Lawyers.
The Credentials Committee clears and urges the seating of all delegates who have no questions about their elections and authority to act. Those delegates go on the floor and organize the Convention and choose its officers.
Then, the Committee reaches a conclusion about the disputed delegates. The Committee Chair presents that conclusion as a proposal to the floor. It is voted on by the already-seated delegates, in this case meaning those from all states except Florida and Michigan.
The bottom line is quite clear, and the WSJ missed it. HOWEVER CONTROLS THE ALREADY-SEATED DELEGATES, also controls the final outcome of the Florida and Michigan questions. The Credentials Committee is only a way-station. It does NOT have the final say.
Sorry for shouting, but so many reporters have missed this vital point that ought to be obvious to anyone who had even attended any convention and paid attention to what happened.

Irwin Schiff argued that lawyers should not be allowed to serve in Congress because as lawyers they are officers of the court. That being the case, they are already part of the judicial branch. "If they are in the judiciary, then they ought to be OUT of the legislature," he said.
That actually makes a lot of sense to me.
Again, we have a proposal that people guess the "intent" of the voters. A lot of voters in MI and FL to stayed home because they were told their vote wouldn't be counted at all so why bother. If you're going to divine the "intent" of those who came out and voted, why not divine the "intent" of those who didn't bother because they were told it didn't matter? And if you do that, why don't you divine the "intent" of the registered voters in ALL states who didn't vote? Why stop at MI and FL?
The ‘Rats could save a lot of money in the primaries by restricting to voting to people who have graduated from a law school. After all, lawyers are supposed to decide everything for the rest of us anyway.
Thought the thread was about ‘conservatrive’ talk radio for a moment....:^D
