kodiak_bull,
Of interest:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- House Majority Whip Tom DeLay ( R-TX ) issued the following statement tonight concerning the Florida State
Supreme Court's decision on the presidential election recount:

"The decision of the Florida Supreme Court amounts to a blatant and extraordinary abuse of judicial power.

"The people of Florida elect a legislature to write laws and an executive branch to implement those laws. With this decision, a collection of liberal activists has
arbitrarily swept away thoughtfully designed statutes ensuring free and fair elections and replaced them with their own political opinions.

"The Court's action is intrusive, anti-democratic, and contemptuous of self-government.

"The Florida Supreme Court seems to believe that it is supreme with respect to all the institutions of Florida state government and, therefore, may summarily
disregard the prerogatives of the executive and legislative branches. This view is as arrogant as it is mistaken.

"I hope this misguided ruling will be vigorously challenged."

More trouble ahead.

Now back to the weather, still working on it,
