The US SC just showed the Florida SC how to couch their opinions. It is irrelevant how the opinions are couched, if they are NOT based on existing statutory law and the US Constitution. As in their first ruling, there is no basis in law for their decision. Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Wells comments in his dissenting opinion, "However, I could not more strongly disagree with their decision to reverse the trial court and prolong this judicial process. I also believe that the majority’s decision cannot withstand the scrutiny which will certainly immediately follow under the United States Constitution. My succinct conclusion is that the majority’s decision to return this case to the circuit court for a count of the under-votes from either Miami-Dade County or all counties has no foundation in the law of Florida as it existed on November 7, 2000, or at any time until the issuance of this opinion." After the recount and the certification, the US SC will prevent the Florida legislature and the House from rejecting the certified electors. The electors are already certified and the US Supreme Court will certainly rebuke the latest Florida Supreme Court ruling.
