Michael, Your post implies that Florida does not give a reasonable time for an election contest to occur. This is NOT TRUE. Remember one thing: If the election had been certified ON TIME, as prescribed by the Florida law, Gore would have had more time to CONTEST the election. Instead, he WASTED much of his time as he wanted recounts in the ORIGINAL certification. It is understandable that he did not want Busy to be "certified" the winner as it's harder to prevail, in court and in the court of public opinion, if you are deemed the "loser". Nevertheless, he did just that and wasted HIS OWN time to CONTEST the certified election. The US Supreme Court should not extend the time for the contest on any grounds that Florida didn't fairly allow proper time...time was allowed but squandered in an effort to PREVENT the certification.
