California Appeals Court - Recall should be blocked!!!

[GOP Jedi]

I don't challenge your legal acumen, CBB. My thoughts are political. If SCOTUS overturns the 9th, this will give the Dems more ammo to whine, "there they go again", etc.. It's factually wrong of course but when did that matter?

It's a win-win for the Dems. If it get overturned, their "broken glass" partisans will be motivated to vote on Oct 7th to "send a message" to the "out-of-control right-wing" Supreme Court.

[AmishDude]

The Torch case was ruled by the NJSC, if I recall. The 9th circuit is a federal court and I don't think that SCOTUS will have any fear of overturning them. No federalism issues here.

[A_Niceguy_in_CA]

"What's the likelihood this will get overturned - and then go forward just in time for the illegals to get their licenses and the ability to vote?"

That's the 'rats plan masterminded by the Clinton's

[flamefront]

Is there yet a recall of Lt. Gov. Bustamonte at this time (or are you projecting one)?

[snopercod]

How does a Federal Court have jurisdiction over a state election for a state office?

Same question I was asking during the Florida 2000 fiasco. I was flamed repeatedly for saying that the feds had no business interfering.

But now that Bush v. Gore has opened the door to federal interference in what should be (under the U.S. Constitution) purely state matters, I am not looking like such an idiot.

[Congressman Billybob]

Yes.

[prairiebreeze]

Pious ba$tards.

Oh my gosh, Sabertooth. You must live near me.

[mwl1]

good point

[Peach]

That's my fear is that they want this postponed (perhaps knowing the ruling wouldn't stand up) - a postponement still helps them because the illegals who are getting a drivers license in a few months will be able to vote.

[thoughtomator]

The best thing that could possibly have happened for the CA GOP at this time!

[Republicus2001]

I'm with ya Big Cat

[aristeides]

SCOTUS overturns Ninth Circus decisions all the time. (I remember one day when it overturned three such decisions summarily per curiam (meaning it didn't think the decisions merited a reasoned opinion justifying the reversal). SCOTUS loves to reverse the Ninth Circus.

[alloysteel]

What! We can't depend on hanging chads? How shall the waters be muddied, without this conscious effort to create voter error?

Another avalanche of fecal matter tumbles down on California. Voting rights are not denied. To anybody.

[prairiebreeze]

They absolutely did! Libs missing no chance to practice partisanship.

Last I heard, California had a constitution. The judges are supposed to uphold and defend that. Not interpret national foreign policy.

wankers!!

[CounterCounterCulture]

LOL!

If you only had a clue.

Buh-bye

[Jim Noble]

I was flamed repeatedly for saying that the feds had no business interfering.

Not by me.

I say, USSC had no jurisdiction in Bush v. Gore AND decided it wrongly, to boot.

For which we will all pay in the future.

[pogo101]

Judge Napolitano on Fox, right now, is saying that the Circuit Justice on this is Kennedy. I believe he's wrong on that.

Correct. It's O'Connor.

[Reagan is King]

The 9th Circuit rescues the libs again.
