…but I don’t get this either: “One of the reasons our society is so successful is our adherence to the rule of law. Following the rules provides stability and order. Yanking people out of governor’s mansions only 11 months after they’ve been elected to a four-year term begins to look like Italy or Bolivia. Yes, yes, it’s all perfectly legal. I’m aware of that. But it’s a bad law, and it ought to be changed.” So the only real way to follow the rule of law is not to follow laws on the books if doing so will look bad? I know there are good reasons to be wary of recalls generally-Steve explores this in the next NR-but it can’t be true that all populist upheavals are always bad. In fact, this one seems to be amply justified. I love Mona, and she recently wrote a terrific book, but this just seems to be anti-populism for its own sake…
