Steve,

As a Florida voter, I'm not sure that Bush will be my President. Our state was in the process of counting our votes, within the time period allowed by the US constitution, as is our prerogative under the US constitution. The US Supreme Court decided to intervene, and stop us from counting our votes. At this point, we probably can't complete our count by the deadline, so the Supreme Court has effectively made our decision for us.

It's amusing how the conservatives are arguing against one of their prime principles, states rights, in a partisan effort to get their man elected. It's not amusing that this precedent will encourage federal courts to participate in future elections. We are losing one of the essential elements of the balance of powers, the states rights to control the election process. It's a problem for future generations that may dwarf the results of this election.

John
