MSNBC- Recall election to be delayed

Pete Williams MSNBC ^ | Pete Williams

California Appeals Court - Recall should be blocked!!!

[epluribus_2]

It's not that - it's that CA will have to have months more of Davis - and be mad about that. Not to mention this will definitely be looked at like a back room deal between Davis/Clinton/Libs and the kangaroos.

[Warren_Piece]

But the 9th is a FEDERAL court, so they wouldn't be overturning a state decision if the USSC takes it.

[SierraWasp]

These STOOOOPID judges and the ACLU need this pointed out in a "PowerPoint" presentation!!! Your words, although astutely correct, will be totally missed by "the public!"

[JFC]

Stupid Dems.... I am ready to make this a right/left WAR!

[A_Niceguy_in_CA]

Did anyone here ever doubt that the 9th Circuit would try to stop/delay the recall?

[bootless]

Oh good. Thank God. And this was a federal circuit court, SCOTUS has jurisdiction.

ACLU, 9th Circuit, repeat after me: "WILL. OF. THE. PEOPLE."

And, while I'm at it: if this teacher down in Florida is about to lose her job over wearing a cross necklace to school, WHY oh WHY did Clinton and Low-Beam Davis campaign in a CHURCH?!!!

[Poohbah]

They refused to take the New Jersey case with Torrecelli saying it was a state's issue.

If there's a FEDERAL COURT ruling, it's a FEDERAL ISSUE.

[Peach]

Bubba campaigned in a CHURCH with Davis this weekend.

Can you imagine the left's collective outrage if Bush had campaigned in a church? They'd go 24/7 with the story.

Curb--Our--Courts!

Curb--Our--Courts!

Curb--Our--Courts!

Curb--Our--Courts!

Congress has the power to end these outrages.

Congress will not get cooking until they feel the heat -- and that heat must come from us!

[Congressman Billybob]

As I have said on other threads, I expected the Ninth Circuit to avoid embarrassment by ruling that the recall election in California on 7 October. Now, the most reversed Circuit in the nation, the same one which voted against the Pledge of Allegiance and was reversed on that, has ruled against the election.

I expect this case to be taken to the US Supreme Court for Emergency Relief. It will go before Justice O'Connor as the Circuit Justice. She will probably confer with her colleagues on a case of this importance, although she is not required to do so.

I expect that she will issue an Embergency Order blocking the Order of the Ninth Circuit and reinstating the Order of the trial court, which had ruled that this election should proceed. And, I expect that Order from Justice O'Connor to come down within 48 hours of when the question is first presented to her.

BTW, the "election law expert" on Fox News as I type this is saying that it is "unlikely that the Supreme Court will TAKE this case." He is obviously unaware of the fact that Emergency Relief requests ALWAYS go to the Circuit Justice, and are ALWAYS ruled on.

My first win in the Supreme Court was obtained under the Emergency Rules, and came down less than 48 hours after the issue was put before the Court. (The case was McCarthy v. Briscoe, September, 1976.)

Trust me, I know these things. And I know them far better than anyone currently twaddling away on Fox News -- and presumably more than the talking heads on the other networks.

Latest column, "An Open Letter to Howard Dean," discussion thread on FR. Article will probably be on ChronWatch also.

[King Prout]

oh, I had forgotten about the bleating chorus.
so like our grassroots libs and the mediots.
I think it is time to reread that wise little book.

[mwl1]

There's a big difference, though... the NJ case was not a federal court action, it was a state supreme court... I think there is a better likelihood of the Supremes taking this.

[Dan from Michigan]

The treasonist anti-American traitor Stephen Reinhardt strikes again.

TIME TO IMPEACH SOME JUDGES

[j.havenfarm]

State issue, yes, but the Toricelli ruling was from the SCONJ, whereas this is from a federal court. I've not seen this ruling, but I should think it pretends to be based on federal equal protection grounds. I think SCOTUS will take it.

[SierraWasp]

"This is a HUGE win for the Democrats."

MOST CERTAINLY!!!

[bootless]

I think it's O'Connor.

[Texagirl4W]

Clinton is involved and is in California.

[Tree of Liberty]

Apples and oranges. In NJ, it was the state supreme court that issued the decision. In CA, it is a federal court, which is directly subordinate to SCOTUS.

[TheBigB]

You just stick the thinge in the right hole... how hard is that?

There's a joke there that I'm not touching...but at any rate, this ruling is stupid and should be struck down by the SCOTUS. And I hope Tom OR Arnold wins.

[snopercod]

FR is crashing ....I am getting an internal error.

Me too.
