The HAC argues Chelsea's use of her finger to express her disgust at the Philly convention conflicts with the principle of "aloha." They argue aloha is at the core of Hawaiian culture and, since both the Platform and Constitution of the DPH express respect for the "host culture," Chelsea's act of non-aloha towards DWS and Clinton is a violation of both documents, justifying her expulsion from the party.

Richardson Law School has graduated a lot of brilliant young Hawaiian legal minds. It is a shame the HAC makes such a shoddy "legal" argument in their zeal to punish this uppity haole woman.

A separate complaint against Chelsea which has merit. She publicly endorsed Jill Stein for president. This is an clear violation of DPH Rules. Kent has said she will accept punishment from the party, provided the Rules are applied evenly against other Democrats also supporting non-Democrats for election, such as Cayetano, Heen and Kobayashi.

That has opened a yuge can of worms.
