well, for god's sake --

the appeals court? postponed the california recall. the recallers intend, obviously, to appeal to the supreme court; but i have to wonder if the court's going to hear the case. doesn't really seem like a federal matter, does it? what in the world does it have to do with the u.s. constitution? (no, i'm really asking.)

favorite part of this story: the poll on the right, where the question is "was the appeals court right to block the recall vote?" and the answers are "yes -- punch-card ballots must be eliminated"; "no -- unfair federal intrusion in state election"; and "i can't take six more months of this". :-D

You know I hadn't even thought about that whole scenario... Definitely gotta love the 9th Circuit!!

This is also the same court that took "under God" out of the pledge of allegiance.
