Mama just told me about that a short time ago when she got home from work. One of the first times I've gotten anything other than local news somewhere else first.

Hooray for the three-ring circus that is now California politics! Seriously, whenever I see a news item, I continuously hear a calliope in my head. I know it's probably not funny to those who live there, but... Posts: 4077 | Registered: Jun 2003

Conservative commentators have been all over this all day. I'm not sure that they're wrong in decrying this suit, either.

Pop, I didn't think it really merited mentioning since it will undoubtedly be appealed to the Supreme Court (probably tomorrow.) They have a 7 day stay, so nothing will really change between now and then.
(Not that I think this thread was a bad idea. It's a good idea. I just wasn't going to mention it till the issue was actually settled. )

But...not in favor of the recall - I think it sets a bad precedent.
But...but...darn it, I'm scheduled to be a precinct worker on election day and I was counting on that money to put some food on the table. I hope the Supreme Court reverses the appeals court.

You know, there's more merit to this suit than it sounds.
California passed a LAW requiring that their election procedures be overhauled completely before the next election. This recall, as a gubernatorial election, does not fall into the schedule -- but I think the clear intent of the law was to ensure that the election process be revised before another major vote could occur.

With just a bit of careful scheduling and legal wrangling, California could manage to elect a new Governor before they vote to recall the current one. And then the new Gov and the old Gov can share the mansion! Tack on a snappy theme song, a lovable daughter and a cranky old neighbor and you've got this year's hottest new sitcom! "Torn Between Two Governors!" Wednesdays on FOX.
