Solum on res judicata argument in the recall case Don't miss this very thoughtful post.

Opinion pieces The Los Angeles Times offers "Making a Bad Recall Worse" and Richard Riordan's oped against the recall decision. (I saw Riordan at oral argument and was told by some reporters that he was bankrolling Ted Costa's lawyers opposing the ACLU case.)

"Case Has Echoes of Bush v. Gore" The San Jose Mercury News offers this report.

"California Told to Postpone Recall" The Washington Times offers this report.

"Campaign Finance Reform Myths" Bruce Fein offers this oped.

"Enthusaism Wanes for Election Changes; Bush, Hill Slow on Commission" The Washington Post offers this report.

On NPR's Day to Day tomorrow morning. Talking about the recall decision.

"Fear of chads delays recall" UPI offers this report.

"Absentee voters urged to keep casting ballots" The Contra Costa Times offers this report.

McCain May Block Appointment of Member of FEC The Hill has this report.

Something to criticize in the recall decision On page 34, the opinion reads: "The first criteria for our consideration...." That makes me cringe.

"Calif. Ruling Hangs on Chad of Bush v. Gore" USA Today offers this story.
