Why doesn't Clinton Take The Florida and Michigan Debate to Court?

[p w]

There was a legal primary in Florida, and Michigan, even though,they didn't follow the dates,The election happened. So why not take it to court and fight for The Florida delegates to be seated, and ask the Courts to have another Primary only for Michigan? Would save some money.

Florida and Michigan screwed the pooch on this one. They were given firm warning of what would happen should the states choose to move their primary dates.

:-o

Does it really matter. Neither are going to be elected.

Because she knows that she'll lose, on two fronts. First, going to court will remind everyone of the 2000 recount in Florida. She doesn't want to be even remotely associated with that.
Second, the DNC established the rules that the candidate and the state parties agreed to abide by. A judge wouldn't have any grounds to over overrule their decision.

I think it should be settled outside of the DNC.

Because there is no pressing Constitutional issue raised in this matter. Primaries and caucuses are set and run by the political parties. So, even the terms of the 14th Amendment don't come into play here. The only money saved would be that saved by her party. If another primary were held, the party would be out the money. Partisan primaries and caucuses for Presidential nominating purposes are not the province of government!

Because it was Obama's own decision to remove his name from the Michigan ballot. He did this to avoid an embarrassing defeat. Hillary Clinton did not violate any law or DNC rules by leaving her name on the Michigan ballot. Why should Florida's vote count but not Michigan's?

 

[John J]

she agreed to the rules and now wants to change them....typical liberal

 

[THE LUX]

because obama would cry like the baby that he is until he gets his way.

 

[cdjack]

They will. This is just more corrupt election crap by the democrats. They make a habit out of this stuff.

A primary isn't like a general election. Parties have wide latitude to do their own thing. Unless you know a specific law that was broken... I doubt arguments about equal protection, civil rights, disenfranchisement, etc. apply in a primary. Since someone can run as an independent, who the parties pick or don't pick doesn't truly limit your choices in the general election.
