| #15 I suspect Gray Davis is goin' to be gittin out the water-cooled signin' pen, just to keep up with the workload between now and October 7th... |

| #14 Mojo is on to it. The only thing that the ACLU can do now is to go after significant voter irregularities AFTER the election, if they think that it will turn things around for them. Just another probing around with the ACLU bayonet on the soft underbelly of democracy |

| #13 ACLU's not going to take it further so mojo's right |

| #12 No way the USSC's gonna accept cert. - they caught enough hell after floridia. And so it dies. |

| #11 The unspoken ACLU/Davis arguement was: How can you expect the illegal aliens to vote in October if they can't get their drivers licenses until December. You are disenfranchising millions of potential voters that way. |

| #10 Hmm... the Demo's must be ahead in the polls again... I agree with what AP said. You just know that there are going to be a lot of people stationed in every place to claim that the ballots were to complex and they did not understand them. Not to mention the 'hollywood' stars ready to give their 'expert' opinions. On the other hand watching Martin Sheen or Hanoi Jane (or any of the other 'stars') state publically that they are too stupid to understand a ballot which has been used for decades might be worth it. |

| #9 ..What AP said - you can bet there will be operatives at every polling station imploring people to scream 'disenfranchisement'. You think Florida '00 was fun?..... Mike |

| #8 Very unlikely the US Supreme Court would take up an appeal as this is not a federal election. The braying of the donkeys will be deafening. |

| #7 The whole problem with the ruling that this is 'similar' to Florida is simple. The people using the ballot machines aren't seniors whom IQ drops by the day. |

| #6 The ruling by the 3 judge panel was based on speculation that the voting machines would be inaccurate, like some in Florida. I am sure that there will be setups by operatives at the polling places to scream at 105 dB that they were dis-en-franchiz-ed, in order to blow this one away, if the outcome is not in their favor. Which means either Davis is saved, or Bustamonte gets it. |

| #5 Maybe we can have the Canadian trained Chinese "Peace Keepers" monitor the election for their first deployment. |

| #4 I suspect that all of the Supremes will be "out of the office" for the next two weeks. |

| #3 Will the Supremes get involved, or will they wait until after the election? My money is on after. I mean, how does one get "disenfranchised" in advance? Quite frankly, I think this whole idea of trying to delay the recall on potential disenfranchisement is a pile of crap. Those punch card ballots have been in use for quite some time, and all of a sudden they're a problem now? |

| #2 My fearless prediction, the donks will fold for now. If the recall succeeds and anybody but Cruz is elected, then you'll see the lawsuits fly. |
