Rush is DEAD WRONG on this. See my other posts on this thread. Also, as other posters have correctly noted, this does not involve a STATE court decision -- the California Supreme Court has already denied five different cases challenging this election. This time a FEDERAL court has stuck its nose into the people's business.

Bottom line: though the Torricelli non-decision by SCOTUS was an abomination, it is NOT relevant to the present situation.

I certainly hope you're right.

they over stepped on this one

You're clearly right here: the California courts, including the liberal California Supremes, have tossed every challenge to this election. Unlike some of the states in the South, where the feds had jurisdiction over elections because of past de jure segregation and discrimination, California has not such history, and no such prior fedederal claim of jurisdiction.

The troubling precedent, however, in the back of my mind is Baker v Carr, in which states' bicameral legislatures on the model of the US - ie reps by population and senators by county -- bit the dust- Frankfurter's dissent pointed out, correctly IMHO, that in Colegrove (which Baker overturned) several justices were clear that there was no jurisdiction for the feds to intervene in the drawing of state districts, etc.

Yer Honerable Congressman:

You have email and FReepmail - time sensitive. :-)

Thanks for everything.

yes... but rush is also pulling for mcclintock. he actually would prefer that McC gets a few more months to do in the despised "arnold". Clearly, this delay serves to give time for mcC to try and catch up with arnold...

There were several Mc'rs here last week trumpeting this very hope that the delay would give their boy an edge.

It won't.
