(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.

Strategery?

NO! It's like the LIBERALS have declared war on America - they are like children having a temper tantrum because they can't get their way.

They want this delayed until March - the dem primary - when more dems will vote and save Dufus.

I'm with you! Time to stand up and fight!!

"Also today, Fogel ordered Monterey county not to mail out it's overseas ballots until the issues are resolved."

Once again a liberal democrat Federal Judge, is doing his damndest to prevent Military Personnel to participate in the proccess they put their lives on the line regularily, in defence of.

And .. we have one of the largest military forces in our state; a great deal of whom either went to Iraq or are still there.

This smells like a Carville stunt re the Monterey ballots.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? That's exactly what I was thinking!!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Let me guess ...

A bunch of democrats (trial lawyers/ACLU) brought the suit to delay the election specifically before this democrat-appointed judge ....

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Confirmed March 16, 1998. Hmmmmmmmm, who was playing cigar games with interns at that time?

And while Trent Lott was busy being his usual incompetent self.

[elbucko]

So for anyone with even a modicum of sense or an ounce of a classical education,...

That's asking for quite a lot, Hack.

I wouldn't be suprised if the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals voids the Recall election.

Ugly thought, but I wouldn't bet against you. Keep in mind that The Rapist is masterminding the California effort.

Yeah, I think they probably want to delay recall until November at least, but what the hay, go ahead and do it, just vote on everything and everyone all at once, make it a general election day in California.

But the court fight -- forum-shopping courts and judges with federal grant money and Southern Poverty Law Center funds is a Left habit on defunding which conservatives and Republicans ought to place a very high premium. We need to break this 'Rat mechanism.

One of the reasons they have "poor voter turnout" is due to the fact that a significant number of the "residents" are not in fact citizens, nor are they in the country with the leave of the citizenry. So, uh, they aren't supposed to be voting in the first place.

Little detail that the original consent agreement ignored.

Too many of them love America and take the oath they swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of The United States seriously.

[savedbygrace]

Nah, we're closer to the mid-1770s, and that long train of abuses . . .

what you said

[pogo101]

Federal judges do not campaign, hence they do not receive campaign contributions. They serve "during good behavior" once confirmed by the Senate -- i.e., for life or until they retire (or are impeached, e.g., Alcee Hastings).

The gay atheist Gray Davis is the commander of the California army, aka National Guard.

I support McClintock 100% he is my grandparent's state senator out of Simi Valley. However, we still can get screwed if Bustamante gets elected. My nightmare is that if he gets in then our fight against illegal immigrantion (the majority of the budget problem) is finished. If the Clinton appointee overturns 1.6 million Californians then our hope lies in that the USSCOTUS overturns the bum.

Our next goal is to recall radical liberal judges.
