Why did they wait so long when this argument has been made since the beginning? How many millions of Republican dollars were spent before they finally dropped this bomb? That court is so corrupt.

ON HOLD

Federal appeals court blocks California's first-ever recall election from taking place on Oct. 7, ruling outmoded punch-card ballot machines could undermine voters.

As I have said on other threads, I expected the Ninth Circuit to avoid embarrassment by ruling that the recall election in California on 7 October. Now, the most reversed Circuit in the nation, the same one which voted against the Pledge of Allegiance and was reversed on that, has ruled against the election.

I expect this case to be taken to the US Supreme Court for Emergency Relief. It will go before Justice O'Connor as the Circuit Justice. She will probably confer with her colleagues on a case of this importance, although she is not required to do so.

I expect that she will issue an Embergency Order blocking the Order of the Ninth Circuit and reinstating the Order of the trial court, which had ruled that this election should proceed. And, I expect that Order from Justice O'Connor to come down within 48 hours of when the question is first presented to her.

BTW, the "election law expert" on Fox News as I type this is saying that it is "unlikely that the Supreme Court will TAKE this case." He is obviously unaware of the fact that Emergency Relief requests ALWAYS go to the Circuit Justice, and are ALWAYS ruled on.

My first win in the Supreme Court was obtained under the Emergency Rules, and came down less than 48 hours after the issue was put before the Court. (The case was McCarthy v. Briscoe, September, 1976.)

Trust me, I know these things. And I know them far better than anyone currently twaddling away on Fox News -- and presumably more than the talking heads on the other networks.

TIME TO IMPEACH SOME JUDGES

Clinton is involved and is in California.

By March over 70% of CA drivers will have been presented with triple car tax bills; over 50% of Californians will have paid them and be looking rebates. In March there will be a referendum measure on the ballot overturning drivers licenses for illegal aliens. There will be even more angry voters drawn to the polls by then.

Recall of Davis= Car Tax Rebate$ will be a real simple concept for voters.

I'm in Georgia's 6th Distict. Newt was my Congressman. It is a very white/upper middle class area. Homes are in the 400,000 - 600,000 range.

My polling place last election was PUNCH CARDS!
In the twelve years I have lived in Georgia I have always used PUNCH CARDS. Last election the inner city got the computers and I was left with PUNCH CARDS.

I was able to vote with PUNCH CARDS without any difficulty.

[Cinnamon Girl]

They are such @!#$%(%^)(U^$U&^($*&)^&*_ LIARS!!!!!!!!! They weren't all sweaty and concerned about delaying the vote last year when Davis and DEMS won everything. How come they could count on the morons to punch their chads out back then, but not now?

[Vast Buffalo Wing Conspiracy]

Time that we admited to ourselves we are no longer a republic, nor even a democracy, but rather a judiciocracy (to coin a term).

Another question:

How does a Federal Court have jurisdiction over a state election for a state office?

[GOPrincess]

I've got to catch up on these posts, but all I could think was how interesting it is that the same punch cards good enough to elect Davis in a close election over Simon are not good enough for his recall?

[TomGuy]

lol

Brit Hume called the 9th Circuit opinion "adventurous," implying it wouldn't hold water.

No Real shock since it is the MORON 9th circuit!

CA Supreme Court rules Dems too dumb to vote.

[TexasNative2000]

Add this to the mix: The Texas State Senate was shut down today as they considered redistricting during their 3rd special session. Too many protesters interrupting the proceedings.

My patience is wearing thin. . . . .
