16 out of 18 votes in the United States Supreme Court have set aside the actions of the Florida Supreme Court, according to Carter Phillips. He's an attorney and constitutional expert who has successfully argued more than 30 cases before the USSC and just won his 32nd decision before the USSC two days ago. He was on MSNBC this morning. Of course they quickly changed the topic when he mentioned that and don't expect any of them to repeat that. Phillips said that Justice Stevens must have been tired and should have deleted that part. He also hopes Gore does not follow with that theme in his concession speech tonight.

Does that say something about which judge's impartiality we should lose confidence? The judges in the Florida Supreme Court.

We lose confidence when Judges like Stevens make those kind of divisive statements. He shows his anger. A judge should be impartial. If the nation was not being fed lies and extremely biased distortions of facts by the media, there would not be such discord. The USSC decision was 7-2; not 5-4. 7 out of 9 judges said that the recount ordered by the FSC violated constitutional laws; in terms of equal rights.
7 Supreme Court Judges said the recount ordered by the FSC was unconstitutional. Some votes counted more than other votes. Overvotes did not receive the same chance for their vote to be counted. That was not fair. Duh. They acknowledged that Miami Dade recovered many more so called undervotes because they used more liberal standards. This was not a question of having time run out.

No court can set standards. Only the Florida Legislature via the Secretary of State gave that authority to set standards to canvassing boards. The courts can't change that now after this election for this election.

Boise just said it is not accurate to say it is a 7-2 decision. Does he believe his own bs? Back to law school.

MSNBC Ashley Banfield actually argued with RNC Chairman, saying how long will Republicans keep up the rhetoric, claiming the decision was 7-2 when it was really 5-4. Moron. Several minutes later she read from the teleprompter no doubt that was 7-2. She should write a gossip column.

Justice Breyer seems to have the logic of Democrats; deadlines set by the legal authority don't matter. Justice Breyer and Al Gore are Good friends. He is the Justice who slipped in the last oral hearings, showing his blatant prejidice and partisanship when he shocked everyone by saying to Attorney Klock; <Whether we win or you win.
"We" meaning Al Gore and I. "

They don't care if the controlling legal authority -acknowledged in this decision by the USSC to be the THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE. In turn they have vested that power in the Secretary of State - KATHERINE HARRIS. She alone has the authority to interpret if election laws have been followed. A circuit judge can see if there has been any violation of the discretion or any noncompliance.

The Florida Supreme Court acknowledged that the Florida Legislature intended to seek the safe harbor provided by the US constitution to provide conclusivity by December 12th which would protect Florida's electoral votes from being challenged in Congress. But their own actions of illegally extending the proetest period made the contest period too short.

We all are losers, as a result of the unconstitutional activity of lawless judges on the FSC and Democrats who try to incite and separate the classes.

The FSC was asked to clarify and redo their first decision. They did not bother until after the USSC hearings when they heard themselves chastized. The USSC said their redo was not satisfactory in this decision.
