As expected, the Florida court ruled unanimously in favor of Gore. In the course of the ruling they start out by admitting that they feel no compelling urge to follow the law. They state "the will of the people, not a hyper-technical reliance upon statutory provisions should be our guiding principle". The proceed to substitute their own dates for those of the legislature, and proceed to substitute their own discretion for the discretion of the executive branch, thus neatly violating all constitutional precepts where only the the legislative branch can create laws and only the executive branch can apply them; in Florida the Supreme Court can create laws from nothing, and can exercise its own discretion in applying them. As I have said previously, nothing good can come from the US Supreme Court overruling the Florida Court, so they should just let this bad decision stand. I'm glad I don't live in Florida where the Supreme court has absolute power and isn't bound by normal separation of powers or by precedent. Carl
