Not until convention showtime is there one single delegate who is tied and bound to any specific candidate.

In fact, there is not a single “bound” delegate to the National Conventions. Not one delegate is required to vote for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or any others who may have “won” votes during the primaries.

Each delegate will have to make their own choice. They are the only ones who will choose the nominee.

The Russians Are Going

Has sportsmanship gone out the window as well when it come to the Russian teams?

The teams representing Russia and Slovakia will square off at Euro 2016 today, but the Russian squad will be expelled from the tournament if their fans continue to behave like hoodlums like Saturday.

UEFA is Europe's soccer governing body,which has made the expulsion threat and fined Russia 150,000 Euros equivalent to $169K after the hooligans violently attacked England supporters and French police following the 1-1 draw Saturday.

CON GRACE?

Submitted by ub on

There is no grace going on there on Capitol Hill, and too much of a con job. Some ask where is it? Show me. Well, if progress is moving forward, and regress is moving backwards, what is Congress, a national con job?

The GOP lead congress has done very little over the past years. Call your representative and condemn them for their continual refusal to perform their jobs. Demand that constant bickering and personal attacks must stop.

The Right to Remain Silent

This was never meant for members of Congress, who are no longer doing their jobs. More about that later.

It is designed to offer equal justice under the law. As US celebrates the 50th anniversary on June 13, it’s easy to forget the origin and purpose.

Miranda was the culmination of 30 years of Supreme Court cases that were designed to protect criminal suspects from abuse in police interrogations. The earliest of these decisions prohibited violence and torture.
