Can't answer that one about the Supreme Court. Reno says it's a state issue so I wouldn't think the Supreme Court would get involved until the end of the appeals process.

My Latin is not perfect. What does "assert certiorari" mean?

Can the Supreme Court assert itself without an appeal? In any case, this is a state matter governed by State Constitution and a Florida Supreme Court, I believe. I also doubt that the Supreme Court would ever enter such apolitically charged decision without a full hearing on the merits of the case.

So my answer is no.

JMHO.

Hi, Ray. I would think the entire issue will be brought before the Supreme Court. I assume, in matters of immediate effect on the United States, they could intervene. Don't know that, though.

Do know that Janet Reno, with her history, should stay out of it.
