Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) and Congressman Alcee Hastings (D-FL) are set to announce today that they are filing a lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee.

The lawsuit will contend that the DNC's decision to strip Florida of any delegates due to their early primary is a violation of the constitutional rights of the state's voters, and will also argue that the DNC is subject to state law over when the primary shall occur.

However, DNC officials already point to legal precedent in the 1981 Supreme Court case Democratic Party of the United States v. Wisconsin, in which the court ruled, "Wisconsin cannot constitutionally compel the National Party to seat a delegation chosen in a way that violates the Party’s rules."

And on a side note, is it the smartest thing to have a federal case filed by Hastings, who was impeached and removed from office as a federal judge for corruption charges?
