It puts a damper on much of the rhetoric from the Right today. But I can't help recalling the utter dismay of the air-headed co-ed from Berkeley who was quoted in the Arnold victory stories in the papers earlier today. Something that makes the mindless minions of liberalism so upset cannot be all bad.

Good piece by Will. Prepare for the Schwartzbots ...

[Congressman Billybob]

George Will is highly educated, very smart, and usually right on the money. In this particular instance, however, he doesn't have a clue.

Normally, Will is a strong supporter of obeying the constitution, and of self-decision by states. He misses both boats in this column. The PEOPLE of California decided, as did the PEOPLE of 12 other states, to provide for recall as a legal process of expressing their political will.

History amply demonstrates that the people have used this right (where it exists) very rarely. They have used it only for the exceptional abuses for which it was intended. (The very high petition requirements for any recall are the pragmatic barrier that keeps recalls rare.)

Will is simply dead wrong in this column. It happens.
