Will She Be Satisfied or Poison the Well Some More?
I basically support the TPM line on the decision that had to be made today by the Democratic rules committee on seating the Florida and Michigan delegations. This includes the fact that Clinton wants to ignore the will of the voters of those states, to quote her, that figured the elections didn't matter. For instance, by staying home or voting for a candidate on the ballot. The compromise here gave her more than she deserved, if a lot less than she fantasized, but a compromise is more legitimate (and pragmatic) here than in other places. BTW, Justice Alito is giving a speech on C-SPAN ... guy looks like the atheist guy, Michael Newdow.
