A recall effort could be launched as early as today against one or more Nevada Supreme Court justices.
Yeah, Baby!
Torie, remember the recall of Rose Bird and a couple of other CA justices in the early 80s? Love this.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with the Nevada case to know whether I support a recall or not. However objectionable the ruling may've been, if it's based on the letter & intent of the law, then I have no problem with it. It's the responsibility of the legislature to modify bad laws & of the courts to rule on their basis if the legislature fails to do so. I have read Article 11 of the Nevada Constitution (regarding education) so the ruling may've been proper. I'm not sure though.

Yep. I was an enthusiastic supporter of operation dump. As you know, one of Bird's problems was that she never met a killer she didn't like, and thus refused to uphold any death penalties (more than 50 or so perhaps). I remember watching with a friend Bird's concession speech, quite drunk, and was shreiking for Bird to use her line about the California Supreme Court should not be a "house of death." I wanted to here it one last time(chamber of death would have had a better ring to it, but whatever). And voila, suddenly the words came bouncing right out of her mouth. Bird came through for me, and it was grand.
