A Response To Howard Phillips On The Nevada Issue (455 words)
Howard Phillips has issued a statement attempting to justify his vote to uphold a pro-abortion Constitution Party state affiliate by arguing that the national party's bylaws do not allow the National Committee to interfere in the internal affairs of a state party by disaffiliating them.
Phillips and 56 other members of the National Committee have decided by their votes in Tampa that a state party's support for the murder of preborn babies is not a sufficient reason to disaffiliate a state party as long as the state party "pledges" adherence to the national platform.
Phillips' argument that the National Committee has no authority to disaffiliate a state party as long as the state party pledges adherence to the national platform because this would be interfering in the internal affairs of the state party is faulty.
