Prop 8 Forces Won’t Rule Out A Recall

Political consultant Frank Schubert, who led the YES on 8 campaign, will not rule out a future recall of California Supreme Court Justices, should they overturn Proposition 8.   Given another opportunity to demur on a recall, Schubert had this to say:

"We are going to be in a discussion very soon about things to get ready for a new battle," he said.

Schubert took pains to distance the official Yes on 8 campaign from talk of ousting Supreme Court justices. "Any discussion of a recall right now is unnecessary and premature," he said.

The judiciary looks very askance at threats to its independence, especially when issued by parties with cases before them. I wonder if Chief Justice Ronald George is paying attention to the pattycake Prop 8 leaders are playing with their supporters on the recall question?
