  The main point Merelice is making is very important. We should all step
back a minute and consider the course of action that Grace is proposing.

On April 12 I co-sponsored a proposal that was adopted by consensus by State
Committee. It made two final changes to the Delegate Selection Plan and
instructed the working committees and officers of the Party to implement
that plan as written to the best of their ability. The State Committee is
the author of the Delegate Selection Plan. The AdCom does not have the
authority to defy State Committee. AdCom is not a policy-making body. It
is supposed to implement policies developed by more democratic organs of the
Party.

Any member of AdCom who cannot find it within them to implement the plan
should either recuse themselves from its implementation or should resign
from AdCom. Trying to defy the will of State Committee is an extremely
arrogant and harmful action, and amounts to a breach of faith with the
Party. It would certainly be cause for immediate removal of the persons
involved from AdCom. I don't relish the thought of going down that road.
But if necessary, I hope that State Committee would defend our
decision-making process from these very harmful attacks.
