1. Which is exactly why my argument that the Lieutenant Governor should
govern in the event of a recall is valid. Apparently there is a group planning to sue on this issue that I read in an action alert this morning.

There are too many ambiguities in the current law and as a matter of public policy, there is nothing to stop every ,illionaire in the state from financing the recall of a legitimately elected governor every six months. The state constitution s also vague on the matter and given that the liberal construction clause of the California state constitution is to err in favor of delivering power to the people, the court should address the clear misuse of a clause of the constituion being used to undermine that principle.
