On September 3, three California voters submitted an amicus brief in Clark v Weber, 21-55930, the case in which opponents of the gubernatorial recall argue that the recall provisions violate the U.S. Constitution. The three California voters are represented by Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee. The amicus supports the constitutionality of the recall, and also suggests that the Secretary of State won’t do a good job of defending the recall in court.

The Ninth Circuit has not yet ruled on whether the amicus can be accepted. On September 4, the voters who filed the lawsuit against the recall filedl a brief, arguing that the Republican amicus should not be accepted.
