Judge dismisses case filed by Sanders supporters against state Democratic party
Source: Las Vegas Sun
A lower court judge ruled today to dismiss a case filed by a group of Bernie Sanders supporters against the state Democratic party, saying that it wasn’t the court’s place to interfere in intra-party politics.
The Sanders supporters had asked the court to grant an injunction allowing them to run for state party office at Saturday's state Democratic convention. The judge, however, said that case law precludes him from interfering with a party’s internal political process.
The lawsuit had alleged the state Democratic party had failed to properly notify Democrats of a deadline to run for state party office in violation of both its own internal rules as well as Nevada law. The defendants argued the confusion over the deadline had been caused internally by Sanders supporters and that the party had made the deadline clear in emails it had sent out.
“Courts are not allowed to interfere with intra-party squabbles unless there is a compelling state interest to do so,” said Judge Ronald Israel at a hearing this morning.

What a litigious man he's become. The court system shouldn't be used the same way DU's "alert" button is used.

Hello, Alerter. The word "litigious" is not a "smear" or "insult". Click here to see its meaning.)
... and just doing their own thing without guidance or inspiration. Split hairs if you must, but that only suggests to me that you're arguing from a position of weakness. Besides, what's done is done, and nothing will change the fact that Hillary will be our nominee. It's after-the-fact behavior like this, rather than proactively addressing state party requirements, that's one of the big reason y'all are losing. Oh well! Lessons learned, I guess.
Not that I'm surprised, mind you.
Losing doesn't make oneself unable to revel in the stupid acts of others. As I am doing right now!
The GOP thanks you for your talking points. 
Office should be able to do themselves. If they do not take basis responsibility of finding the filing dates then they are just not ready to hold any office."

"Taking responsibility for signing up for a voter ID should be something one interested in voting should be able to do themselves. If they do not take basis [sic] responsibility of finding the voter ID registration or cannot take responsibilty in their life to afford the cost then they are just not ready to cast a ballot in an election"
if an OP has a negative tone to it and just happens to have Sander's name mentioned, the Hillary Piranha will tear it to shreds BEFORE they even realize it was not relevant to start with!
