44. Obama-Supporter Daschle: Taking It To Rules Committee Would Be "Extralegal"
Obama-Supporter Daschle: Taking It To Rules Committee Would Be "Extralegal"
By Greg Sargent - May 6, 2008, 7:10PM

An odd moment on MSNBC just now: Tom Daschle, a major Obama supporter, seemed to suggest that it would be "extra-legal" if the Hillary campaign takes the dispute over the Florida and Michigan delegations to the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee.

Asked about that scenario, Daschle said:

"If we have the majority of delegates, and we've got a nominee, all this becomes sort of a moot point. I can't imagine that they would actually consider something that dramatic, something that extra-legal, at a time when we really ought to be talking about uniting the party."
Extra-legal? According to Dictionary.com, that words means "not regulated or sanctioned by law."

Whatever you think of any plans to go to the Rules and Bylaws committee, It's not clear that there would be anything "extra-legal" about it at all, at least according to this rundown on how that committee works.
