OTAll, it could get bigger and even nastier in the coming days...the following is an excerpt forwarded to me by another investor/trader. I do not have an opinion as to the validity of the argument or scenario: "If (the Supreme Court decides against her and then) Ms. Harris insists that her already certified count is final, Florida would have a separation-of-powers standoff. The Bush team would then have to decide whether to drop the Big One. . The Florida legislature. My legal sources say that when a state's presidential vote is in doubt, federal law (U.S. Code Title 3, Sec. 2) gives a state legislature the discretion to appoint electors. Republicans dominate the Florida assembly, 77-43, and the state senate, 25-15. They could assert that when the executive branch and courts disagree, or when there are two different vote counts, the legislature gets the final say. Mr. Bush would get the electors. This would take political nerve, because Democrats would shout that the GOP is defying the law. But Democratic judges who overreach their power are no less political than elected Republicans who assert theirs."
