The commission was agreed to as a compromise at last year’s DNC, to give Sanders supporters a forum in which to push for reform to the nomination process.  Among the things that this commission will look at are rules for caucuses vs. primaries, open vs. closed primaries, and the role of super delegates.

The story in The Hill seems to suggest that super delegate reform has already been agreed to, but Josh Putnam says that that’s not correct:

I don’t believe the decisions made by the commission are binding.  Any real changes have to go through the Rules & Bylaws Committee.  More on the commission here:

That sounds like the perfect way to make a big scene about how they've reformed the process to Sanders supporters only to turn right back around and shut it down as quietly as possible.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust them one bit, especially after the rule changes they made at the Nevada State Convention. Note that Obama was allowed to gain delegates from having better turnout, but not Bernie.

I'm glad the superdelegates aren't going anywhere. Their whole point is to be a check against someone getting the nomination who would be politically suicidal. Hence why Bernie supporters hate them so much...

LOL, are you arguing that it would have been politically suicidal to nominate Bernie?

Why is the breakup not available? Who did Perez pick? All non-Sanders' pick look like lifelong Clinton people ! Anyways Clinton gets 9 to Sanders 7, so no use expecting a loss.

They should probably abolish primaries & elect candidates via a convention of DNC members if they thing it is okay for Super-Delegates to over-turn the will of the people. Don't know can anyone be this dumb to even argue for it?

Bernie chose 8 people.
I assume the 10 people who are obviously Hillary people according to the description, mostly from the campaign were chosen by Hillary.
That leaves 3 people. A google shows that Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Elaine Kamarck were both members of the Hillary campaign while James Roosevelt, Jr is some DNC establishment hack who served in the Clinton administration. So yes, everyone that Bernie didn't choose was a Clinton hack, and most were members of her campaign. F**k Perez and his unity commission.

The breakup was 7/9/3 so I don't know Bernie chose 8. Maybe Perez gave 1 of his slots to each of Bernie, Hillary & chose the other himself. Let's see what the Unity Commission does before passing a judgement ! Perez & this stuff deserves a fair shot, time & then should be called into question with results showing he has failed/hasn't done anything !

The reporting was sloppy. First it says

But then it goes on to mention the 8 people picked by Bernie.
