Judge strikes down Virginia law binding state Republican delegates to Trump

A federal judge ruled on Monday that a Virginia law binding Republican state delegates to Donald Trump was unconstitutional, the conservative news site RedState reported.

While it does not change rules regarding delegates at the upcoming Republican National Convention, the decision allows the plaintiff, Carroll “Beau” Correll, as well as other Virginia delegates to vote for another candidate during the first round of balloting.

WTKR-TV reported that the judge agreed with Correll’s argument that being forced to vote for Trump as a delegate violated his First Amendment rights.

I was going to post the same story because it didn't seem like it could happen.

That said, I find it highly amusing that someone such as this, a Ted Cruz supporter, someone who no doubt shares Cruz's opinion on state's rights, would go so far to undermine state's rights.

Apparently he's following the time-honored Republican tradition of do as I say, not as I do.

I would assume the same thing could happen for those pledged to vote for Silly Hilly.

Which is pretty disgusting either way.

Except there seems to be some semblance of party unity for the Democrats, unlike Republicans where many elected officials are boycotting the convention. As I mentioned in another thread, one Republican elected official has said he would be "watching dumpster fires" rather than attending the convention and another said he would be mowing the lawn.

Those have got to be code phrases for something else.

I think I know what "mowing the lawn" refers to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9JZWpZS6-g

I heard one has said that he'd rather attend the public hanging of a dear friend than attend.

Which still doesn't change the rules, your people wanted Donald you shut up and do your goddamn job.
