Official GOP rules allow for the binding of state delegates to popular vote. The Unit Rule does not void this. If there is a conflict in rules, who will the GOP establishment favor??? Additionally, the GOP establishment can void a convention mid voting if they want per the rules. Do you really think they will let some guy who has won zero states beat out a guy who will have won 40+ contests by then?
Wake up. It is Romney.
Rule 38 of the Republican Party does not allow binding delegates... It's over for Romney... Ron Paul will be the nominee at the convention.

The Unit Rule does not prohibit binding to popular votes. Other GOP rules clearly state that some delegates are bound by popular votes. Other GOP rules clearly state that the GOP leaders will interpret rules - who will they choose? Another GOP rule says the convention can be scrapped at any moment even during the voting process at which point party leaders would choose the nominee.
The USSC case you cited does not apply to party conventions, which are outside of government.

Stop choosing to be an ostrich.
Niced try at reverse psychology... A lot of people watching CNN and FOX have thier head in the sand...
This subforum is going to enter meltdown mode when Ron Paul is kicked to the curb at Tampa.
Somehow I doubt that. The convention should be interesting.
