if the Florida Supreme Court didn't already overturn the Secretary of State this afternoon, they came pretty close

Art:

The Florida Supreme Court issued an interlocutory order, not a ruling. As far as the ultimate issue you wish to conclude upon, whether the Secretary of State can reject the hand count, the Florida Supreme Court's order says nothing. All one can conclude from the Court's order is that State of Florida provides for a hand count, and what the counties are doing is NOT prohibited by Florida statute. The order speaks nothing as to whether the Secretary of State is within the law to reject or accept the results of these hand counts a priori, or when they are presented at her doorstep.

Regardless of how you feel on the issue, regardless of how the Florida Supreme Court will ultimately rule, one must learn to correctly interpret and appreciate the scope of a judicial outcome. What you're attempting to do here, like what Bill Daley would have the American public believe, is to read into this decision much more than what is really there, which is really much.
