A MyDD post
quotes extensively from the 2008 DNC delegate selection plan. The poster thinks that (1) the Rules Committee was under an obligation to create a process to select Florida delegates, and (2) the Rules Committee needs to hold hearings to see if Florida's Democrats could have stopped the primary move-up, and (3) if it found that they tried and couldn't, the Rules Committee can't penalize Florida additionally. These are all wrong. You can read it on page 26 of the pdf (page 22 in the text numbering), or on the poster's page. The key phrases are, "including, without limitation," when discussing what the Rules Committee can do, "after an investigation, including hearings, if necessary," when discussing how the Rules Committee should determine if the state Democrats made every effort to comply, and "may determine," when discussing what the Committee should do.

Simply put, the Committee acted completely within its rights as laid out in the DNC rules. It actually held a hearing, which it didn't have to do. Everything else in the rules says they may do things, not they must. Geez. Florida may get seated some other way, but not by close parsing of the DNC rules -- especially if you can't parse.
