"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Suing for Davis

by Lee

The Democrats are showing their usual level of respect for the constitutional democratic election process.

Setting the stage for a post-election legal challenge to the recall vote, Democrats are set to launch a national fund-raising campaign today to help pay for any legal action needed if Tuesday’s election on Gov. Gray Davis’ future is close.

Seeking to avoid what they called “another Florida-style fiasco,” the state party and a national Democratic group called Democrats for America’s Future said they hope to raise $100,000 to place poll watchers around the state Tuesday and to help with post-election legal challenges that may come up.

“We’re preparing for every possibility,” said Peter Ragone, communications director for Davis’ anti-recall campaign. “There’s a lot at stake here. We want to make sure every voice is heard.”

So, in other words, if Davis is recalled they’re going to drag this thing on and on and on in a deperate attempt to cling to power.  How pathetic.  How typical.
