[OT] Peter - I was wondering what your take was on the whole issue of whether Article 2 of the constitution and US code Title 3/sections 5 & 15 apply to the interaction of the Florida legislature with the Florida Supreme Court (or however this may be phrased) or if these laws apply only to (U.S.) congressional 'safe harbor' provisions/oversight of state elections. During Olson's presentation, Souter made the point that section 15 (the code that, I believe, designates congress as the final arbiter if 'controversy and chaos' follows an election - this section was in fact a response to just such conditions following the Tilden/Hayes election) never mentions 'federal litigation preceding...' congressional implementation of this section of the law. Olson/Bush appeared to be pleading just such intervention (however, it still seems to me Olson's argument was excellent and that this gray area between Federal and state 'jurisdiction' (probably the wrong term) is a minefield). Could you also explain what 'The United States Code' is and how it relates to the constitution. I'm assuming a challenge against the code is NOT a constitutional issue...but how does that impact whether or not it is a 'federal' issue? Can you provide any insights on McPherson (sp?)? I'm half way through the court transcript and completely spellbound (and I'm sure to have questions about the legitimacy of the Gore case as well) TIA Scott
