Law? We don't need no stinkin' law!

Democratic Party lawyers have issued a 38-page opinion concluding that not more than half of the disputed delegates from Florida and Michigan can be seated at the party's convention in Denver. This would be a decent compromise--better, actually, than allotting Obama delegates that he did not actually win, especially in Florida where his name was on the ballot.

Despite this legal opinion--and it is only an opinion by the party's lawyers--we may confidently expect the endlessly cynical Clinton campaign to continue it's recently-discovered dedication to pure democracy by calling to "count every vote." Never-you-mind that Hillary agreed that none of the votes in Florida and Michigan should count, because those states flouted party rules.
