Joe Mathews has this column at Fox and Hounds, a California politics web site. Mathews points out the important factual error in the January 29 State Court of Appeals decision Rubin v Padilla. The decision upheld California’s top-two system, but the judges largely based their opinion on their misunderstanding that before top-two went into effect, independent voters couldn’t vote in congressional and state office primaries.
The court was ruing on the CURRENT top 2 regime.
Even if the morons on the court screwed up the PRIOR system, that is quite irrelevant regarding the current top 2 regime.
How come the State MORONS did not correctly inform the court about the prior system ???
Lots of USELESS MORON JUNK lawyers on all sides ???
How soon before SCOTUS has that FINAL FINAL FINAL HAMMER top 2 primary opinion ???
i.e. a Bush v. Gore type HAMMER opinion on the skulls of the various hacks ???

NO primaries.
