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