Yes, I am on record that I expected the Ninth Circuit to say yes to the election, to prevent itself from being embarrassed one more time by being slapped down by the Supreme Court. Now, it is time for another dose of embarrassment. Spread the shame with a trowel, this time.

Nobody can be perfect in predicting what an activist court might rule.

Especially with the Clinton's involved.

Yep. Now I'm really sorry you didn't take my even-money bet last week.

I'm also predicting the SCOTUS won't hear this case but will issue a summary affirmation, delaying the recall until March. It got burned too badly over the Floriduh decision and won't go near that hot stove again, especially since the Rats have made Bush's "stealing" the last election in the SCOTUS a major campaign issue. Already the same charges are being made over the CA recall and you can bet the Court is sniffing the political winds.

The only way I can see the SCOTUS becoming involved is if the appeal comes before a single liberal judge who seizes the opportunity to make trouble for the Bush campaign by allowing the recall to go forward, lending substance to the Rat propaganda. With Clinton stumping for Davis, anything is possible. After all, he appointed many of the wild-eyed liberals on the Ninth Circus and stays in touch with the ACLU's Ramona Ripston who's married to a Ninth Circus judge.
