JUNEAU — If lawyers don’t want Alaska’s chief justice to determine the legality of the recall campaign against Gov. Mike Dunleavy, they should tell him.
In an unusual Wednesday letter, the Alaska Supreme Court’s head clerk said that state attorneys and attorneys representing the recall campaign can file a request to remove Chief Justice Joel Bolger from this case, but any filing must be before Feb. 26.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to consider the legality of the recall on March 25. Without a favorable ruling, there will be no recall election.
The court’s letter came one day after Stand Tall With Mike, a group representing the governor, said it was dropping its legal opposition to the recall. In an unsigned statement, the group said its decision was driven in part by its belief that Bolger cannot render a fair verdict.

This will be fun.
