So the Trump camp has an interesting interpretation of the decision...

Maybe they had two things typed up, and posted the wrong one.

Just another example of Trump's reality distortion field. He feels like if he says crap often enough it will be true.

No, I think he feels like if he says crap, people will blindly believe him. And he's right. They do.

I skimmed the opinion, but there are parts that address the RNC rules. I believe the court declined to take a position on whether the RNC rules could be enforced, and simply held that the law couldn't be enforced.

The convention could still nullify delegates' votes that are not consistent with their rules.

Reuters is breaking: New Black Panther Party will carry arms during protests at U.S. Republican National Convention if legal

What are the chances the National Guard gets deployed in Cleveland?

I thought I heard on the radio that Indy is sending officers to help out during the convention?

I would love Jeb right now.

I'd prefer a nice, dull, predictable Jeb to the unknown that is Trump

Last one, promise

But seriously, NBPP declaring they'll be armed at the convention.

What is that, if not instigating?

If they can sit outside the doors to a polling place with clubs, without violent incident, I'm sure this will be on the up and up too.

Here's a story on it now

Exclusive: New Black Panther Party says to carry arms in Cleveland if legal

Officials in Ohio have said it will be legal for protesters to carry weapons at demonstrations outside the convention under the state’s “open carry” laws. Several other groups, including some supporters of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have said they will carry weapons in protests as well, leading to concerns about rival groups being armed in close proximity.

Wow...this Bernie speech to endorse Hillary is taking forever.

...and now she's going to talk---I mean screech.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea... but whatever. I won't be anywhere near that place. I wonder what the NRA has to say about this. Needless to say, the RNC will be MUST see tv.

If some corresponding white hate group were to announce they would be attending the event armed, the NRA would say something different about one than they would the other.

There's a certain amount of atonement that goes along with an oath of fealty.

That atonement included the catalog of progressive wish list of unconstitutional programs and list of fake crisis that demand government intervention. Oh, and there goes the "weapons of war" tirade.

The funniest line was where Bernie was going on about how the system is rigged to enrich the top 1% with Hillary standing there nodding in agreement.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Top post on Reddit right now is from the Sanders for President subreddit... simply titled: 'Sorry Bernie, I love you but even with your endorsement I will not vote for Hillary'

(or something similar to that. I filtered that sub out a long time ago)

 

[ArcadiaGP]

This party.... good lord. Really a lot of missed opportunities to appeal to more people. I don't know how they expect to win again as Democrats sink their teeth into the country.
