I found J. Pariente's comments from the bench, her opinion that is, regarding actions by the Secretary of State and issue of the hand count in her home county of Palm Beach quite surprising and irregular for a Supreme Court justice. The hearing was one a forum for oral arguments BY THE PARTIES to the COURT, not by the COURT to the PARTIES.

One cannot help but question J. Pariente's objectivity to distinguish the limited issues before the Court, from her own inherent bias to the circumstances leading up to the hearing. On point, what the Secretary of State did or did not do initially (her action to summarily reject all untimely ballots) , prior to J. Lewis's ruling, is a question of fact NOT BEFORE the Court. While one can certainly argue her bias at the trial court level, it is most certainly not an issue for the Supreme Court to address in this hearing. Without going on much further, I found her comments to Klock extremely un-justice like.
