Federal judge says he may delay California's Oct 7 recall

(San Jose-AP) -- A federal judge in San Jose says he may decide to postpone California's October recall vote.

US District Judge Jeremy Fogel heard from civil rights groups earlier today. They argued that the quick election is forcing changes in the voting process that require federal approval.

Under the federal Voting Rights Act, any changes in the voting process must be pre-cleared by the Justice Department in places like Monterey County that have a history of low voter turnout.

Fogel set a hearing for August 29th. He suggested he may delay the election at that hearing if federal approval hasn't happened by then.

Also today, Fogel ordered Monterey County not to mail out its overseas ballots until the issues are resolved.

With each passing day, the terrible drumbeat of a coming civil war gets closer. If the atheists and sodomites want a fight, then me and mine are prepared to stand as patriots against them.

The federal judges think that they are gods. I hope that Judge Moore in Alabama knocks them off their pedistal.

They ARE gods and think no one can stop them.

There is no civil war coming. When you post stories about gay and atheist armies being formed, be sure to ping me so that I can quickly change my opinion.

No surprise. Judges make laws. No need for the other two branches of government, eh?

The pharohs and the caesars also thought they were gods, too. Now they are dead and will be judged by the one true God.

However, when federal judges become tyrannical rulers, and Democrats run away rather than do their duty as the minority like is happening in Texas right now, they bring us one step closer to the breakdown of our institutions.

The best insult I've heard about a judge was "black robed Taliban"

Oh ye of little faith!

Ahhnold pulled a boo-boo by appointing Buffett. And .. even though Ahhnold supposedly said he didn't agree with Buffett (re property taxes), then why does he want him as an advisor if he doesn't agree with what he says ..??

DO YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA? Do you even know who Tom McClintock is? I don't know where you're from, but I'm from California and I'm tired of Golden State RINO's and out-of-staters praising a man who said he would never forgive and was ashamed of the Clinton impeachment. Do you stand with Arnold on the Clinton impeachment???
