From post #6488: Breaking news: Leon County circuit Judge Terry Lewis has just rejected a court petition by Vice President Al Gore to force Florida to accept hand recounted votes. This ruling clears the way for the Florida Division of Elections to certify the final vote tally tomorrow. That's great news -- but the post-election battle is not over yet. "Hand counting" of ballots is still going on at this very minute in Palm Beach and Broward counties. If the ruling by Judge Lewis stands, Florida's Division of Elections can throw out these "hand counts." But the Gore legal team is appealing the decision today and it's very likely that the Florida Supreme Court will be hearing the case shortly. The Florida Supreme Court is comprised of six Democrats and 1 independent, and they've already ruled in Gore's favor to allow the "hand counting" of ballots earlier this week. [...] Well, at this moment in time, we do know how the so-called "Supreme" Hack Court of Florida ruled against candidate GW Bush.... Ron, could you please explain to me how on earth a bunch of Democrat creatures can be labelled "Supreme"?? It is obvious that the PARTISAN justices of Florida have swerved away from a fair and impartial course. I think that their injunction to enjoin Secr. of State Katherine Harris from ratifying the Florida ballot as of Friday 17th is a serious breach of the separation of powers. The Dems have just gone too far --it's now time for President-elect George W. Bush to publicly make the outright declaration that he has won the 2000 presidential ballot! Again, it's not up to partisan judges to mess around with the separation of powers and interfere in an executive quarrel. If any sanction against GW Bush is to be enforced in the future it should be his dismissal in the next presidential election and not the heavy-handed overruling of the current ballot by a gang of partisan judges --otherwise, each and every future presidential election will be brought before the court and your electoral college will be surrogated by judges as a sort of "constituency of last resort".... Gus.
