Talk about hitting the legal nail on the head? Well said:

<I am really surprised that no one has floated the idea that the Secretary of State of Florida could simply defy the court order and certify the November 14 results in accordance with the law of Florida. For back-up she could simply rely on counsel's opinion that the Supreme Court had exceeded its authority in writing law. So the Supreme Court comes back and finds the Sec'y of State in contempt. How do they enforce it? They can't, not without the aid of the executive branch (including the sec'y of state) who say, no, that's not a valid order of the court. We won't enforce it. So THAT question gets kicked up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

That's the Kodiakbull neat way of ensuring that the real Supreme Court reviews the Seven Dwarves' Dangerous Frolic and Detour. The Varsity Supes could not, realistically, turn down the case of a state supreme court against a state executive branch on the subject of federal law.

But maybe the barristers in the Sunshine State have considered this and tossed it as too dangerous. I personally think it is sounder (the Executive Branch enforces the written law, rejects unconstitutional judicial legislation) than going into a political session and having a Republican majority vote a new law. That second option pretty much stinks and will have long lasting political repercussions that nobody in his/her right mind wants.

One thing for sure, Davie Boies et al were completely shocked (happily) by the gullibility of the Seven Dwarves.>

So was I K.B.!

And now team Gore is back on Thanksgiving Day petitioning the Dwarfs to force Miami/Dade to resume the recount. Do you think they'll extend the date...AGAIN?

Be interesting to see if the little critters issue a ruling between dinner courses?
