[Congressman Billybob]

I agree with you. This is part of a take-over by judges who think they know better than the people or the legislatures, and treat laws and constitutions like silly putty.

Many of you know I am planning a run for Congress. Please help me, so I can FIGHT the SOB's on this issue, among others. Click below.

How will you run for Congress? Are you planning to mount a primary challenge to Charlie Taylor? You realize that's hopeless, don't you? BTW, I'm registered in the 11th District [though presently away]..

2:55PM Little reaction to court ruling in Calif. muni bonds by Rachel Koning

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- California bond yields showed little reaction Monday to a federal court ruling delaying the state's recall because of controversy surrounding punch-card ballots and the lengthy candidate list. Municipal-bond traders said that in general the market doesn't view the ballot issue as having a lasting impact on the recall. One trader said intermediate-maturity notes were trading at about a 40-basis-point spread over lower-risk Treasury debt, near levels seen before the court ruling was announced. One analyst said the market has been showing limited reaction to daily changes in the election outlook, as confidence among bondholders has grown for the recall's being voted down Oct. 7 or the election of Democrat Cruz Bustamante, the state's lieutenent governor. In either case, then, the muni market would be more upbeat that state budget progress would win out over political wrangling, the trader said.

I may have missed this in an earlier post, but where is the harm that has occurred? Doesn't there need to be a harm before the courts can rule? Isn't the election supposed to go forward, and then based on results a group can claim harm? This strikes me as a pre-emptive (preventive) action in anticipation of potential harm. It's not supposed to work that way, right?
