For the story behind the story... Florida Supremes' Chief Justice Pens Scathing Dissent Friday, Dec. 8, 2000 7:06 p.m. EST Florida Supremes' Chief Justice Pens Scathing Dissent Nobody seemed to appreciate the danger of Friday afternoon's bombshell 4-3 ruling by Florida's Supreme Court more than its own chief justice, Charles Wells. In a scathing excerpt from his minority dissent later cited by Bush spokesman James Baker, Wells wrote: "I believe that the majority's decision cannot withstand the scrutiny which will certainly immediately follow under the United States Constitution. "The majority's decision to return this case to the circuit court for a count of the undervotes from either Miami-Dade County or all counties has no foundation in the law of Florida as it existed on Nov. 7, 2000, or at any time until the issuance of this opinion. "The prolonging of judicial process in this counting contest propels this country and this state into an unprecedented and unnecessary constitutional crisis. "I have to conclude that there is a real and present likelihood that this constitutional crisis will do substantial damage to our country, to our state and to this court as an institution."
