This is an exceptional circumstance. Saying "The sentence seemed too low to most observers" is the understatement of the century. Are you saying a recall is never okay?

For that reason, better to have a debate about whether the ability to recall a judge should exist at all and, if so, under what standard or for what reasons. Lawmakers, or the people, have the tools to address any perceived problem with recalls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-89905134044997923732018-06-14T08:52:08.371-04:002018-06-14T08:52:08.371-04:00He's not wrong, but he hurts his own persuasiv...He's not wrong, but he hurts his own persuasiveness by throwing jabs at the people behind the recall effort. You don't convince anyone who disagrees with you by attacking them while trying to make your argument. I'm sure the folks in favor of the recall don't think of themselves as extremists, nor do I expect that Michele Daubner introduces herself as a "feminist law professor from Standfor" (his contempt for "feminism" jumps off of the page in the context of this piece). <br /><br />True to Dershowitz's form, his writing sends the message that he's more interested in being right than in persuading people to believe in the same things that he believes - in effect, he's just preaching to his own choir. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-28686223985691768572018-06-13T23:43:37.247-04:002018-06-13T23:43:37.247-04:00F dersh.
