Recall decisions soon?
A reporter tells me that he heard from the California Supreme Court that
a decision whether to grant or deny review on the recall writs will come
"early afternoon."

A Davis resignation would not scuttle
the recall I blogged about this in June here,
explaining why this is so---but many people still ask the question. Now that
the election is certified, I don't see how anyone can argue that the petition
is not yet filed under the rules of Elections Code 11302. The recall goes
forward. If Davis resigns now, Bustamante is governor and would remain governor
if a majority vote no on the recall. If a majority vote yes, Bustamante would
be replaced by whoever is a successor in part 2. And I don't think anything
would prevent Bustamante himself from running in part 2.
