One difference from New Jersey is that it was the New Jersey Supreme Court interpreting a New Jersey statute -- typically state courts are viewed as the highest authority in interpreting state law. No USSC jurisdiction unless federal constitutional law issue.
Here, the 9th Circuit delayed the recall based based on federal constitutional law -- equal protection/due process.
This signals the death of a republican form of government, SCOTUS is not in session, this is an ACLU/Davis/Democrat putsch.
What needs to be done is for the 9th to go Reichstag.
