The whole "freedom to associate" issue was decided by a 7-2 SCOTUS decision in 2000 in CA v Jones.

The right of people to freely associate in political parties is exactly what gives the D Party the right to have super delegates, or to do anything else they please when it comes to how they select their candidates for office.

The jerk undoes his own argument by stating the above in #4 of his complaint.
