Tekboy, do you think we're headed for a constitutional crisis?

For the record, I'm --Mike Buckley, not tekboy. :)

I don't know about a constitutional crisis but I have some related thoughts if the courts become involved in the resolution in any way beyond a hearing that disallows court action. For the people who used to think their vote doesn't really matter, having the courts decide which votes should be counted, disallowed, or cast again will forever put into question whether a vote really matters. Court action will result in the thought that "my vote matters only if the court says it matters and I won't know that until possibly months after I vote."

The greatest irony is that in recent years I made all my presidential election decisions based on who might be appointed to the Supreme Court. Yet it might be the Supreme Court itself that determines if my vote matters or if others get to vote a second time when I only get to vote once. Having the priviledge of voting a second time just because someone lives in a particular section of Florida puts my vote in Virgina on an unequal basis. That may not be a Constitutional crisis, Frank, but it sure is a major issue for me if my vote becomes unequal from other votes in any way whatsoever.
