Another disturbing aspect of this entire process has been the public disparagement of women in positions of authority.

To name just one, the vilification of Katherine Harris by supposedly progressive writers, opinion makers and officeholders is yet another example of the rampant hypocrisy accompanying this electoral circus. If she were a man, half of what is written about her would not be printed.

I am not nominating her for sainthood, but I do think her position, its legal basis, and her rights and responsibilities as an elected public official have been treated in a manner beneath contempt. The Florida Supreme Court did not disparage her position, find it overly partisan, or find she abused her power. Instead, they admittedly assigned a new interpretation to the conflicts in that law while making their decision.
