That's an impressive victory for Camp Weathervane.

Can you head to New Hampshire and beyond, or do you want to go to court?

I am just about at the point of no return to this once loved site... The immaturity and hatefulness that abounds from a lot of the Bernie supporters here is making this political process seem anything but democratic... Bernie deserves better....Hillary deserves better.

Clinton's victory means she will collect 23 delegates and Sanders will win 21.

With her advantage in superdelegates — the party officials who can support the candidate of their choice — Clinton now has a total of 385 delegates. Sanders has 29.

Especially since so many switched from Clinton to Obama in 2008.

All precincts have reported.

Clinton came out on top, and got more pledged delegates.

They may know the number of voters who showed up, but they don't tally the actual votes.

vs. how many wanted Sanders.

How is it that Republicans can have caucuses that include individual vote counts but Democrats cannot?

FWIW, until recently, the REAL votes that the Republicans cast were a meaningless beauty contest exercise, and had no bearing on the distribution of delegates.

for members of the Bush crime family.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2014/11/18/bush_my_sweet_daddy_a_wonderful_father_to_bill_clinton_and_me_124685.html

To me, the Clintons' closeness with this family of criminals completely disqualifies any of them for future election to any high office, much less the White House again..

.. as to the title your op, and the body of your post.
SCOTUS and the corporate media are two different things. Glad to help.
