I follow the WA state Supreme Court very closely. When this gets to the state supreme court, it will most likely be a unanimus decision for a re-vote. i would guess that 2-3 justices will recuse themselves. Fairhurst, for sure, since she is a close friend of Gregoire. Sanders may recuse or be asked by the democrats to recuse. CJ Alexander should recuse himself and I would say it is about a 50-50 chance he will. He has some personal reasons for wanting Gregoire to be the governor.

Details, please....
Wow..thanks for the info..can I suggest..( not to create more work for you)but since you admit to following the Wash SDtate courts closely, that you blog this on FR..hey..you might start a second career..(G)
People on earlier threads have said that although the court is very liberal, some of them may have consciences. Let's hope that's true.
I don't think there is a chance in the world that SCOTUS will reverse them if they give it to Gregoire. The Lautenberg precedent makes that pretty clear.
