That very much qualifies as rigging.
How do you know? They control every part of it and have shown that they're not above board in general 🤷
That's not how it works, no. A good lawyer chooses a coherent strategy that's both likely to be successful and in accordance with the wishes of the client.
The DNC itself has a lot of skilled lawyers and would have agreed on a strategy long before a word was said in court. This was their choice, not that of a neutral lawyer just doing his darndest.
Agreed
Only when it comes to unprincipled hypocrites who don't care about the spirit of the rules but only how they can bend and break them to further their own agenda.
Only to the extent that those relationships affect the primaries. Which they very much do when you're doing everything you can to favor a specific candidate.
He's still a member of the party, one of if not THE most influential and thus powerful one at that, with more weight behind his words than most. That great power comes with great responsibility
Could have fooled me, what with all that apologia 🙄
On that we agree, at least.
That would be great, if the DNC would ever allow it.
Fixed that for you.
