Mission: impossible.

(127,312 posts)13. Not all of them are doing it
Only a group who are "single-issue" (which I agree with) but who choose to selectively exercise "civil disobedience" in the middle of the convention. And who they are selecting is very telling.

I'll have to review her comments later on.

I would pull their passes.
Send them into 100 degree heat.
They have the right to do that.
DNC doesnt have to put up with this
disrupting a respected civil rights leader like Elijah Cummings?
Im floored.
