Today the 9th circuit refused to rehear Van Susteren v
Jones.  The original decision on June 20 had upheld
California law, making it impossible for anyone to run
in a partisan primary if that person had been a
registered member of any other party, at any time
during the 23 months before the upcoming general
election.  No other state has a law of such severity,
and it would make it impossible for any California
member of congress to switch parties and then run for re-election.
