Analyzing the Recall

When you sleep late, your buddies are kind enough to do the morning legwork for you. Prestopundit points to this piece in the Sacramento Bee in which the editorial staff and two political scientists discuss the recall on the record. Maybe I like it because they agree with me on the facts:

There are no limitations as far as Ken and I can tell on what you use the recall for. There are lots of ways you can remove people -- through impeachment and forfeit your office, etc. -- that actually are geared to malfeasance, something that you've done which is clearly a violation of the law and therefore you forfeit your office. That's not the case with the recall from what we can tell. The recall basically is up to the voters to decide.
