I hated to see the SCOTUS step in in 2000, but that was clearly a national issue. The election of the governor of CA is clearly not.

Get the smelling salts randita...the tator is about to agree with you.. easy... easy... I told you to sid down.

Yes I too, believe in states rights.

The best thing the Supremes could do is take the case away from the 9th and then declare the federal courts did not have jurisdiction in this matter.

Case and game over....Election proceeds on schedule.

That my dear is a distinct possibility. It is what the Scalia-Thomas group would want to do.

I would bet your conservative heart could support the Supremes doing that....

Agree wholeheartedly. David Dreier said on FNC last night that the 9th Circus basiclly declared null and void the law in the CA Constitution that says that a recall election must be held within 80 days of the recall petition certification. If it is postponed until March, obviously that violates state law. The equal protection question pulls the feds into it--or at least the left thinks it does.

If this 9th Circus decision holds on the basis of equal protection, that opens up so many cans of worms that the nation will be overrun with the slimy creatures.

Most states do not have uniform voting procedures from county to county. And even if they do, there are certain areas where voter error is much higher even when the voting procedure is exactly the same. So is someone's equal protection violated if they happen to be stupid and can't figure out how to vote properly when other people are smarter and can?

Gore vs. Bush was a terrible precedent. I'm grateful it turned out the way it did, but I wish it didn't have to be done. And I don't blame it on Bush. It was Gore and the Democrats all the way. Even though they lost, they probably rejoiced over the fact that the precedent was set for courts to interfere in state election law. They could see the possibilities which have already come to fruition in NJ (almost in HI) and now in CA.
