Tom, FL SupCt has shown they are lightweights their decision read like a campaign public statement these guys did NOT act like jurists during the hearing nor with their ruling the FLorida legislature is FUMING angry now their Senate is 25 to 15 Republican their House is 77 to 43 Republican their laws and statutes have been overturned expostfacto they have the power to ignore their own SupCt ruling we might have TWO separate sets of Electors sent for Dec18th vote we aint going for full state hand recounts we are heading for Florida battle: leglislature VS judiciary Bush team has made tactical errors (not demanding full state hand recounts) but they seem more expert in legal interpretation they have chosen the high levels of legal challenge NOT the ground war as you call it respectfully, I think you misread these FL SupCt lightweights their entire emphasis has been pragmatism and overarching rule psychology is not the emphasis rather it is the focus of attention and their was DEADLINES, VOTER RIGHTS we even have dispute over the Illinois "dented chad" criterion Illinois did not clearly allow dents to count as votes this is escalating, NOT concluding I think we may have an unprecedented Electoral College battle both in Florida's contingency and nationwide remember half the states do NOT require the Electors to be bound DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH STATES ALLOW UNBOUNDED ELECTORS? ARE THEY GORE STATES OR BUSH STATES? critical question this FL SupCt decision creates more conflict than it resolves very unimpressive court not too concerned about either conforming to the law, nor avoiding a reconstitution of the law after the fact no guidance for military absentee ballots disqualified no specific guidance for conforming to valid vote law far too much latitude for local Democrat officials to create convenient vote validity standards and a firm deadline that disables any statewide hand recount "we do not place blind trust in machines" I wonder if FL SupCt judges calculate their Mastercard interest every month, balance their checkbooks every month, and research every legal case without the aid of computer next stop: US Supreme Court, or Federal Circuit and endless individual ballot challenges every single challenged ballot must be reviewed by the county's three officials these guys will not be eating turkey / Jim
