Just when folks thought the recall of the pro Wal-Mart was finally over the Ninth Circuit may decide in one way to bring it out. As FR readers recall (get it?) the a panel had ruled the recall petitions needed to be in various languages. A judge then stopped the recall election from taking place using this case has his reason. This case may also effect initiatives. See last post on this here and you can see FR’s own political law expert Mike Houston’s take here. Now that case is going to be heard by an en banc panel off 11 judges. See the article here.

We can only hope Judge Klausner lifts his restraining order on the original recall election. The unfortunate thing is that we still might not be able to vote until August or September. Apparently, it’s harder [and slower] to get a ballot printed than I would have thought.
