So you are all saying that RP was cheated in every primary and caucus and he should have all the delegates that Romney has? Seems kind of delusional to me.
And there is more detailing the appeals and review process including a mandatory review every six months, just keep reading.
APPEALS AND PERIODIC REVIEWS OF CIVILIAN INTERNEES
1-24. CIs may be interned or placed in assigned residences only when the security of the detaining power
makes it absolutely necessary or there are imperative reasons of security of the occupying power. (See GC,
Articles 27, 42, and 78.) The internment of civilians is a serious deprivation of liberty for the civilian
population. Accordingly, each CI—
Is released by the detaining power as soon as the reasons which necessitated his internment no
longer exist (Article 132, GC).
Receives an order of internment (in a language the CI understands) as directed in AR 190-8.
This order must be provided without delay, usually within 72 hours of capture/internment.
Receives notice (in a language the CI understands) of the right to appeal the internment or placement in an assigned residence.
Has the right to appeal the internment or placement in an assigned residence. This appeal should receive proper consideration and a decision should be rendered as soon as possible by an appropriate administrative tribunal.

This is another example of how RP supporters attempt to evade the system and bypass the desire of the people who support other candidates. RP supporters attempted to control many of the caucuses by attacking the rules rather than getting out to support their candidates. Essentially, these lazy a$$es didn't want to beat the streets but rather beat their chest amd make loud noises.
Now we have another ass attempting to defeat the rules by saying the rules don't apply.
When a delegate in a primary pledges to vote for the candidate, they are advertising their intent. They cannot later change their mind until after the first floor vote in the convention. Then they can support whoever they want.
The rule here is that if a delegate advertises their intent to support a candidate on the first vote, they are bound to that intent. It is a contractual agreement between the delegate and the voters.

I wimped out, sorry. I started with the second film and watched five minutes before I became convinced he was not a good source.
As an example, he held up a piece of paper and said he was committing an act of civil disobedience by showing us that sheet of paper. He said over and over that it was classified. If it was classified, it wouldn't be civil disobedience, it would be a crime. But what was it? It was only the title page of a report which may or may not have been classified. There were none of the necessary markings on it to show it was classified, The words "Confidential," Secret," or "Top Secret" are nowhere on it.
It's hard for me to accept a guy, a lawyer, who would say this. Maybe he's got something valuable somewhere, but I've got doubts.
