From NBC's Chuck Todd and Mark Murray
Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee emails First Read, "The Clinton campaign has not made any threat 'direct or veiled' to engage in litigation and no legal action is being taken. The campaigns have been discussing primary night procedures and we asked for those procedures to be put in writing before we agree to them. It is standard operating procedure for our campaign -- and we presume any campaign -- to see what we are agreeing to in writing before we agree to it."

The source, who asked not to identified by name because he did not have authorization to speak about the matter, said Clinton 's political director, Guy Cecil, had forcefully raised the possibility of a courtroom battle.

I can only assume you thought the NAFTA/Canada/Obama stuff was crap too, I mean it was far less ourced than this.
it is NOT their call either way; they can object all they like; it will do them no good; the texas party has the right to run THEIR primary/caucus the way they want
Yes, the US Supreme Court has been very clear that political parties have the right to set their own rules.
That denial came from the Clinton campaign.
Denials are only valid when they are from the Obama side.
