I had a wild idea today. What if Katherine Harris were to say tomorrow, "Sorry, I have no way to certify the election results. The Florida Supreme Court says I can't do what I thought the law was, and now I can't tell what the law is because the whole thing is up for grabs in the United States Supreme Court. Sorry, I can't honestly certify the election because I have no idea what the law is right now, and I don't want to disenfranchise anyone by misapplying the law, whatever it is."

It would be a totally honest and ethical solution to her current situation, yes?

This would do five things:

- get her out of trouble with the Gore attorneys that are already planning on crucifying her at the earliest moment.

- take her out of the media spotlight

- put the onus on the Florida State Legislature

- thwart Gore's plan to contest the election, since they can't contest anything until the certification process is over <G>

- allow the United States Supreme Court to make a ruling on this mess

***

I wonder if she will do it.
