It has to become a state's rights issue or something that is actually a federal issue to enter the US court system. (And the US 9th Circuit stands in the way of the SCOTUS.) Otherwise, it's a state issue and the California supreme court is the highest court possible.

Gosh, i've been skimming over the posts, wondering how you guys are fairing with 2 weeks left, would I be far off the mark thinking that this is just all one huge big entertainment circus for all the media fanfare that's flying around and flimsy statements from the politicians i'm seeing some of you guys paste into here?
(I'm just thinking of UK political campaigns are run, it's kinda like the BBC vs Fox news if i had to pick an anology in terms of the way America becomes during election year.) US Election: A serious, respectable campaign to determine the next person to step into the role of the 'most powerful man in the world', to try to lead one of the most influencial countries of the world for the next four years? (perhaps not) But hey, at least with this video, it kinda shows what americans can do extremely well: Provide good entertainment, enjoy. I watched this and actually forget this and actually can forget that these peeps are running to be president of the United States, lol. ps: GOP? - what does that stand for/who are they?

Times like these I remember and understand the reason why the Found Fathers did not want the President of the U.S. to be directly elected by the population.

Well, remember that the original Constitution even barred direct elections of Senators, until 1913.

I will really question if she is actually president when Palin gets the role. Speaking of which, in history, are there any good examples of good VP that actually understand the role in crisis or otherwise? |

I laughed so hard. Satire to the rescue, not that much is needed.
