Interpret the law is one thing that courts do. Another thing that courts do is fashion equitable remedies. The Florida Supreme Court fashioned an equitable remedy, that is, created a deadline that did not exist in the statutory framework. So that's something that did not exist on Nov. 7, and it violates 3 USC 5 for Electors to be appointed and qualified pursuant to laws which did not exist at the time of the election.

Further, the Florida Supreme Court did not find that Sec. Harris abused her discretion when she stated that she would exclude the manual recounts from her certification. As Sec. Harris' lawyer argued, ably, and accurately, Gore had the right to seek the continuance of the manual recounts AFTER certification. It is one of the remedies he had, and still has, available to him. It's something he intends to seek AFTER certification in Miami-Dade, Boies has already said this. So there was NO legal reason to stop the certification.
