Liberal Law Clerk Tries To Save CA

William Dyer has started to analyze the per curiam opinion in Southwest Voter Registration Education Project v. Shelley (the California recall case), and posts some preliminary thoughts:

The writing style is a bit too hip, though, for most circuit judges -- almost more appropriate to a blog or a campaign website than for inclusion in Federal Reporter, 3d Series. From this and from some quirks in the citation form, I'd bet dollars to donuts this is the work of a very smart, very liberal, very out-of-touch-with-reality law clerk who's just joined the staff of one of these judges after a law school education that included law review service (and possibly editorship).

This is some good stuff. I'm looking forward to the followup analysis he promises.
