The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has reinstated the Oct. 7 recall election. The truly surprising thing about this is that the ruling was unanimous. Just goes to show you how far out there on the margin the original three-judge panel was.

The ACLU may appeal, but don't expect the Supreme Court to touch this with a 100-foot pole.

*UPDATE* That was quick, the ACLU has decided, wisely, not to appeal. I guess they realize it would be futile anyway.
