Sure, now they care. But if they are so concern about voters rights, they MUST reinstate A.Gore as a rightfull Ruler of the World

The difference is that a recall is a perfectly legitimate part of the democratic process. Constant whining and recounting ballots 50 times in only certain Democrat-heavy districts is not.

Of course, delaying the recall election for 7 months is absolute BS. The US is not a nation where the current government decides when elections will be held. They are meant to be on dates set in stone for a reason.

Just as the United States Supreme Court had to smack down the Florida Supreme Court when they tried to re-write election laws on the fly (which the Florida Legislation had the rule of law) I would think that the California Supreme Court will get the same if this goes to the United States Supreme Court (ohh just heard the 9th district court has the most over-turned rules from the United Supreme Court).

The ACLU and their ilk didn't protest when Davis was elected on the same machines, yet now there is an issue. Any State/County should have learned from Florida that any type of voting equipment (ie punch card's) should have burnt them right away, and moved along, but hell they still have them machines, then turn around when things do not go their way, that the dis-in-franchised are not smart enough to use that equipment properly. I just don't get it, if that was the case, WHY NOW? if every persons vote count, why should they have to use that old equipment, and don't say its because the lack of money, something like that, all parties would help cough up the funds.

California is messed up, the recall ability has been part of law for over 100 years, used over 40+ times and now that it has succeeded, OMG we have to make it stop. Also this is the same court that over turned the Illegal Alien Initiative (was passed by a large margin) but 1 Judge said that the "will of the people" was wrong.

I ask you this, fellow Americans, if the will of the people is wrong, then what is our Constitution for? Career Politicians (both sides), pro-active courts/judges worry me that OUR say means nothing, and, will we have another "Boston Tea Party" in our life time?
