Bernie supporters sue to stop the California primary until their demands are met.

They're going to file an injunction against the California primary.

Not a joke:

-------------

Bernie Sanders Supporters to File Emergency Injunction Against Calif. Primary
By DAVID CAPLAN


Attorneys representing a group of Bernie Sanders supporters informed San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera Thursday night that they plan to file an "emergency request" with U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup in the city today "for a preliminary injunction" in California's June 7 presidential primary," Herrera's office said.

<...>

The release continued, "The activists are seeking sweeping injunctive relief in their suit, including provisions to force 58 counties to segregate ballots already cast by unaffiliated voters; to allow "re-votes" by those voters for presidential primary candidates; and to extend the state's voter registration deadline -- which passed on May 23 for eligibility to vote in the June 7 primary -- until election day itself."

No words to express what Hillary must be feeling now. Anger, frustration, bewilderment?

And perhaps laughter at the absurdity of it all.

My contempt for Sanders knows no bounds.

She's laughing till her sides hurt.

The Sanders campaign has descended into utter farce.

this is just a continued effort to question her legitimacy even though she's legitimately whipped her ass. I almost wish he would succeed and a judge would halt the election for a week to try to address whatever BS they are complaining about, that way Hillary could slaughter him in New Jersey and he would be done before California even voted. Total backfire.

they do love their lawsuits. Too lazy to read the easily found (that Google thing!) election laws in California? No problem! Just sue to have them change, ten days before the primary!

I hate these people. I know I shouldn't but I really, really do.

The tantrum continues, and a campaign with zero political and social skills continues to make the same blunders over and over again. What do they not understand about the self-contradictory nature of their behavior? It boggles.

After the election, we can do away with elections all together, because The Supreme Leader will solve every problem, and there will be nothing more to decide.
