And the ACLU signed an agreement with the state of California that DOES NOT require the punch card system to be replaced until the 2004 Presidential Election.

Of course, when the 'rats are losing, they will use any means possible to try to snatch victory from defeat.

How many judges on the 9th Circuit are Clinton appointees?

How many Fedral judges have been appointed by President Bush AND BEEN APPROVED by the US Senate?

All 3 on the panel that made this ruling were Democrat appointees.....FWIW

So the court let the ACLU stop the machines from being replaced until they thought could win?

I just heard on KFBK News Talk Radio here in Sacramento that only a 3 member panel made this decision! It wasn't even the full court. Didn't say which 3, but I'll bet they're heavy Dufus Butt Kissers!

It matters little what the composition of the Ninth Circus panel is; just know that it was enough to kill the election. That is what this is all about, killing the Recall until March.

What should be done is the following: Schwarzenegger, McClintock, and Issa should file a joint emergency request for a Writ to the SCOTUS. My assumption is that the SCOTUS, having been at the center of controversy once, will decline any writs and not hear the case. In this case, I disagree with Billybob.

Assuming that happens, I would urge both Republicans to jointly withdraw from the election under protest and not participate in a fixed game. Nothing is gained by the Republican candidates granting any legitimacy to this scam. I would also recommend that the Republicans scream "fix" and "scam" at the top of thier lungs.
