Bernie Sanders 2016 Supporters Lose Lawsuit Against Democratic National Committee

On October 28, the Eleventh Circuit ruled against some Bernie Sanders supporters who donated money to the Democratic Party in 2016. The supporters charged that the party had promised an impartial process for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, but actually tilted the contest in favor of Hillary Clinton. The 29-page decision in Wilding v DNC, 17-14194, is here.

The decision is by Judge Adalberto Jordan, an Obama appointee. It is also signed by Judge Frank Hull, a Clinton appointee; and Britt C. Grant, a Trump appointee. The decision does not try to determine whether the party did or did not tilt the process. But it says to prevail, the plaintiffs should have showed that they donated money to the party specifically because the party had promised a fair process, and that they would not have donated if they had known that the process was unfair.

  1. Another rotted lawyer case –

    unable to write a correct Complaint and/or make correct arguments ???

    Thus –
    new lawyer ???
    redo Complaint ???
    redo arguments ???
    do nothing – let the ROT continue ???

    No requirement for any *fair process* in a gangster gang Bylaws ??? Duh.

    Much too difficult for ALL the MORON lawyers doing politics cases since the 1960s.

    Abolish the Electoral College

    Abolish all gangster primaries, caucuses and conventions for nominations.

    Ballot access only via EQUAL nom pets / filing fees.

  2. Terrible decision. Basically says a plaintiff must prove his case before filing it. Reflects what is wrong with America’s judicial system back in 1937 before the Rules of Civil Procedure were changed to notice pleading and what has once again become wrong with America’s judicial system today. History repeats itself, and it is usually is to the detriment of the little guy.

  3. How many Fed judges from the oligarch law *skooools* —

    having TOTAL oligarch contempt for ALL little guys and gals ???
    —-
    Election of ALL judges.

  4. Because of course they would have wanted to donate to a party had they already known it would tilt the playing field against their candidate. Facepalm…
