In Wisconsin there's a vote going on today to decide if Governor Scott Walker is to be recalled.
What has Walker done that deserves this? Not support the union? Not support tax dollars going into the union funding? There's courts and voting referendums to decide for or against such matters.
Gray Davis was in California. I was not a supporter of Davis as his viewpoints were too liberal for my taste. However, he did not break the law, and he had been elected only 10 months before his election was recalled. As far as I was concerned they had a chance to remove him at the time of his reelection and the people of his state reelected him. So unless he breaks the law or places the state and its people in a very dangerous situation, and not some loophole as to what a lawyer is saying is dangerous, I mean clear and present danger to quote a movie title. Unless Davis or said governor has placed his state in such a spot or broken the law and or abused his authority there is no grounds to recall the election. The election was recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor.
That has been a peeve of mine for a while.
I made youtube videos about Rod Blagojevich. This was a bit different. When Obama was elected President his senatorial seat became vacant. Policy is that the governor of the state selects a replacement. He chose Roland Burris. But he had solicited bribes and was using that seat basically to be sold to the highest bidders. That was breaking the law he deserved to be removed.
Now we have Walker and that possibility in Wisconsin. The Gray Davis situation could end up being an epidemic. Whenever a governor is disapproved of by a group strong enough financially and organized enough publicly to get the word out and the votes they can remove the governor on the grounds that his efforts are in disagreement with their interest group. Is that really what American government and the people are all about?
