What makes you say "committed?"

They aren't really committed until they actually cast their vote at
the convention.
And they aren't "super" delegates.  They are "unpledged", seated
because they have
been appointed by the party itself, as opposed to those delegates who
are seated because
the party allows (yes *allows*) states to seat delegates based on the
results of elections
or caucuses.

People seem to think that the Democratic Party is part of the
government and is subject to
some kind of rules other than their own.  Yeah, in the case of
elections and caucuses, those are
subject to whatever rules the various state legislatures hold them
to.  That's about all.

The Democratic Party can flip a coin at the convention, if the party
board decides to do that.
