However, the thought that this will be decided as a matter of constitutional law is folly.

Lemme say this Barr, you have little clue as the law that is at play here. If constitutional law is not a play here, what is or great one? Is it contract law? Tort law? Property interests? Please tell me.

You prefer to twist my initial comments to scum by framing the definition of constitutional law very narrowly. You state that "This is a matter of Florida state law." Correct. What state law may I ask? Do you refer to the Florida Elections Code? And where does the legislature receive its authority to enact such statutes?

Please, if you wish to debate the issues here on the merits, then at least respect the legal principles upon which all these arguments rest, and that is constitutional law, both state and Federal. It amazes me how you not only dispute this critical underpinning, but have the audacity to dismiss it as a "joke" or "folly."

Doesn't change the fact that I have still not heard anyone put forth a colorable constitutional claim and it appears that one federal judge agrees with me.

Don't flatter yourself. The judge agrees with you, huh? I guess he sought your counsel before he rendered his decision. Your arrogance on these matters is the folly here.
