5. You are misreading the memo
It doesn't advocate this approach. It just outlines the arguments in favor of two different ways of allocating the uncommitted delegates. I don't think you can concluded anything about how the decision would go, were it to get that far.

One thing is clear from the memo -- the RBC does NOT have the authority, according to staff lawyers, to seat ALL the delegates. It only has the authority to undo the "discretionary" part of the punishment meted out by the DNC. On the other hand, the CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE does have the authority to do so.


So it will be the credentials committee and not the rules and bylaws committee that ultimately decides this issue.
