I do not mean that the FSC has no right of appellate review, I mean it had insufficient grounds to overturn, and should probably not have heard the case. After all, the trial judge based his decision in part on determinations of fact, which are rarely subject to appellate review. There is no doubt that the contest may end up in the courts. There is also no doubt that the contest is supposed to terminate in time for the "safe harbor". The SCOTUS did not substitute its judgment on issues of state sovereignty. Based on Article II of the Constitution, it affirmed the right of the legislature to set a deadline for the contest period, and denied that the SCOFLA could suspend that deadline in order to finish the manual recount. As far as the equitability of the recount provisions went, the SCOTUS had a perfect right, under the 14th amendment, to review the scheme contrived by the SCOFLA.......
