At least SCOTUS is already in session, having started early in order to hear the CFR case last week, so that won't have to come from the four corners of the earth to hear the appeal.

SCOTUS will not touch this and they should not, if they overturn this, it will be an election issue against Bush. Just leave it alone, don't play into the Dems hands, CA is not worth it, let the voters there sort it out.

Oh good. Thank God. And this was a federal circuit court, SCOTUS has jurisdiction.

ACLU, 9th Circuit, repeat after me: "WILL. OF. THE. PEOPLE."

And, while I'm at it: if this teacher down in Florida is about to lose her job over wearing a cross necklace to school, WHY oh WHY did Clinton and Low-Beam Davis campaign in a CHURCH?!!!

SCOTUS does not have to assemble to rule on this. Judge Napolitano on Fox, right now, is saying that the Circuit Justice on this is Kennedy. I believe he's wrong on that.

He is also saying that the one Justice can only stay the lower court's order for a limited time "to let the whole Court decide whether to take the case." On this he is DEAD WRONG. I obtained exactly such an Order in September, 1976 compelling the State of Texas to put Eugene McCarthy on their ballot for President in 1976. That Order stood, and the Supreme Court NEVER did take that case.

I'll follow up with other comments as I read through these comments.
