A federal judge screws us again.

[lodwick]

It's over America.

Check in with your nearest Federal Judge for verification.

It's like America has declared war on America.

{the federal Voting Rights Act, any changes in the voting process must be pre-cleared by the Justice Department}

True to form in the playbook of the RATS. When things don't go their way, the RATS play the race card. I wouldn't be suprised if the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals voids the Recall election.

[CarmelValleyite]

Davis right now has a lower approval rating among California voters than did Nixon the night before the resignation and some little fool judge in San Jose thinks he's going to stop this freight train? Not bloody likely!!!!!!!!! Off with his head!

The rats will do anything to stay in power, even to subvert the will of the people.

[farmfriend]

WE get left without power in more ways than one.

"Under the federal Voting Rights Act, any changes in the voting process must be pre-cleared by the Justice Department..."

Either lawyers and judges have been progressively [pun intended] dumbed down over time, or else Davis' allies are sincerely desperate...because for one thing, California's recall law has been in place since BEFORE the federal Voting Rights Act (note for NY Times Reporters and others who are "slow" due to diversity of everything except ideology: that means that the recall isn't a "change" in procedures for the Justice Department to review).

And for another thing, it's a cinch for Ashcroft to review the recall anyway, as the recall is the MOST DEMOCRATIC election possible.

Bar none.

So for anyone with even a modicum of sense or an ounce of a classical education, this whole legal challenge is meaningless. Sadly, there are probably entire law schools that can't accurately comprehend what I've just written above.

Sigh...

[Scenic Sounds]

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.

This makes it sound like Attorney General Ashcroft will decide when the election should be held.

[ladyinred]

This was the fear. Davis has been shopping judges with Bubba's help. DARN It ALL! (censored)

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

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.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It was only a matter of time, eh ?

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

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

[Lancey Howard]

A Scumbag appointment?

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Flori-DUH redux.

"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.

[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 ....
