The decision was not reversed, it was vacated, which means the fl sct was told to clarify their decision. Now it's back to the FL SCt to clarify whether their reference to the state constitution was critical to their decision. If they say that their decision is fully supported by state statutory construction principles and legislative intent, then I think the US Supreme Court will stay out of it, and the state court decision will stand. If this distinction didnt matter, the court could have resolved it. My bet: the fl sct court clarifies their opinion to make clear that it can stand on statutory construction/intent principles alone, removing any federal question. This does not take the heat off of sauls, and does nothing o move Gore closer to a concession, at least until the fl sct revisits the issue. By then they may have sauls' decision as well, and could resolve the whole thing by the end of the week.
