By the rules
The superdelegates were created to use their independent judgment. That's what the rules say. Now if the rules were to become more flexible, one could also argue that that the delegates of the Michigan and Florida primaries be seated.
You can't argue that rules are rules as pertains to Michigan and Florida and at the same time argue that superdelegates should be held to vote that reflects their state votes.
If that is the case, then, logically, you have to abandon the "rules are rules" argument.
