Verrrrry suspicious timing. We hadn't heard a peep from the Democrats about the legality of their recall law but suddenly, when it appears that their embattled governor Gavin Newsom will LOSE the recall and removed office, we hear the Democrats whining that the recall election law is NOT constitutional. It is so hilariously late in the game to be concerned about the law's constitutionality that recall ballots have already been sent out.
This is a very strong indication that Newsom supporters have no confidence that their beloved can prevail in the recall election.
It worked on Gray Davis.
PING!
Ha fricken ha ha.
That’s not likely to stick when no such argument was made in 2003 (or if it was, it failed since the governor was removed and replaced).
talk about denying citizens their voting rights... sheesh...
Isn’t the recall provision part of the State Constitution?
Then Biden’s “election” is unconstitutional.
I don’t know the seriousness of this claim, but elections are at least in part about playing the percentages. If this convinces 0.25% of voters to come out and reject the recall it helps a great deal, even if the claim is complete bull.
This is Newsom’s basement move, his campaigning to crop circles. He knows, we all know, he must exit, stage left.
Just a maneuvering to change any votes that might be on the fence and have gone his way to instead be cast away from him.
The plan is to oust him, following in Cuomo’s footsteps.
The only thing that can save Newsom now, as it did BidAn, is Dominion.
Nothing can stop this.
Correct. Plus, it gives the media direction on what to present.
The biggest issue is if the state AG refused to defend the law or halfasses it. My guess is the courts would have to decide if the group that sponsored the recall can defend it.
I remember a proposition to make a change in the state Constitution and it passed. The Democrats went to court and the state supreme court ruled it was un-consitutional! So with Democrats anything is possible (if you control the courts).
I am betting that they will find some Judge to who will put a hold on the election.
Except the people who count the votes.
The 2020 election coup demonstrated the oligarchy is all in at this point. There are no limits to what they will do to maintain and increase the power they have over the people.
Quite so. Elections are a charade.
They pushed the date up because they thought it would be easier to win. LOL.
They should just have Biden come out and do a campaign rally.
Their private polls and Focus Groups must be making them to approach a full panic stage.
