That's a lot of questions, more than I can answer. If I could, with any credibility, I'd weigh in at about $5,000 per hour for either side, plus expenses.
But my thoughts, anyway:
First, why would two sets of electors be presented, and if so, what happens? The Secretary of State already certified one based upon the vote totals as of the Florida Supreme Court's artificial cutoff, extending the statutory cutoff. Where would the other come from? A court order might be considered to be in violation of the statute, and intrusion on the legislature's constitutional prerogative. If two sets of electors are presented, the legislature's constitutional prerogative, based upon the statute, should control.
Second, I don't know whether the Florida Supreme Dolts could, by law, certify a recount that they order and certify. Seems like a judicial overthrow of our constitutional system of government, to me. A judicial coup d'etat. If I were Jeb Bush, I'd face jail time for contempt of court on that claim. Good CNN news coverage.
But, before that, I don't know whether they can force Jeb to certify a vote, or take action without him. In any event, it would be wrong on their part.
Third, and last, the Demolibs have NO rule of law to rely upon ("No controlling legal authority"), so they're raising lots of old, tired arguments to justify their selective, targeted "recounts," which aren't that at all, but which are actually reclassifications. |
