THE RECALLED RECALL

I haven’t blogged much on the California recall because others have that market niche. (Can you imagine the howls of protest if I devoted as much space to gay rights as Mickey does to the intricacies of a California recall? But I digress…) Still, it’s a good question whether I think the court has the right to intervene to prevent an electoral fiasco. I answered that in 2000. I’m not changing my mind now that it (probably) benefits a goddawful Democrat. The real question is: why has it taken them so frigging long to replace those chads? Or, as Mickey suggests, why not have a paper ballot instead?
