the reason there are no constitutional or legal problems with stripping a state of its delegates to a party convention is because primaries are not functions of government. the fact that the party has set up a selection system strongly resembling the federal approach notwithstanding, the democratic party's nominee for president is whoever the democratic party says it is.
striping florida and michigan of delegates was a pretty drastic move, but as i understand it, the state parties were given the option of moving their primary back to their previously scheduled dates and refused.
