Don's post I responded to was in regard to the USSC "determining the electors". This is a faulty legal premise. Period

There's a legal premise and then there is in effect. I thought it was clear that Don was referring to the latter. The Court failed to give guidance when they could have with respect to the consistency of counting methods when they could have under the case of the absentee ballots [best case: presumably, because it was State's perogative issue]. Justice Scalia then stopped the recount and then the majority ruled that there was insufficient time. Had the Court given guidance to the on the consistency issue at the time of the absentee ballots, absentee ballots in which the requests were completed by other parties could have been thrown out because the group was handled differently than other absentee voters and there would have been sufficient time for a state-wide counting of the ballots in a consistent manner. So the actions of the Court and Justice Scalia in particular in effect determined the electors. [The actual different standards issue is somewhat false to begin with. Only at the superficial level is the counting standard consistent within counties in Florida. They use different machines from different manufacturers that have different false positive and false negative readings, there is no such thing as a consistent standard.]

Do you decline to comment on the use of the Executive Office to lobby the Judicial in denying access to the courts in civil suits?
