Amy J - Re:"I'll try to list the points without injecting bias - (I'll write my opinion in parenthesis)."

You provided a very good summary of the legal issues in the FL Supreme Court Briefs. For others interested see here:

Re: "If they select b) [delay the challenge], then there will be a discontinuation of a manual count (which is the original question the court was asked)."

You are absolutely correct. The Republican legal strategy is to delay the recount and sit on their lead. SOS Harris has pursiued this strategy relentlessly and has clearly made legal errors. The written standards used to reject the manual recounts were inept, see the Briefs for details. A competent lawyer could easily have written standards that were arguably within the law but could never be met. However, the standards produced directly contradict FL law in a couple respects. The Bush and Harris do not challenge the Dem's contention of these errors. The standards demonstrate are very inept and shoddy work.

The arguments before the Florida Supremes will be broadcast live on CNN at 2:00 EST. The CNN website has some pretty good articles on the Bush and Gore strategies. See the links on the right:
