How anyone can call it a waste of time and money is beyond me. It's a constitutional process that got revved up when people got upset enough with the government to call for a change. The fact that we just had an election is irrelevent. It's a legal process.
Yeah, Issa bankrolled it. Do you think he would have done that if he had not seen support from the people? It was a rational decision.
Which is more assinine: Gray Davis spending $1 million to kick Riordan out of the primary so he could compete with Simon, or Issa spending $1 million to start a legal proceeding that's been on the books for decades?
Both of the above actions were legal. They were both driven by opportunists and a lot of money. I'm not complaining about either one.
But, which action respects the will of "the people," and which one limits their choices? I know which one I consider assinine....
