Oh Lordy, just walked back in and heard the Bush team doesn't like the judge who was assigned to their emergency hearing this afternoon to consolidate all proceedings to Tallahasee. You know, if I was Bush, I'd refuse to pay the legal bills. He is getting some awful legal advice. First, they file in federal court in southern district of florida (odds favored getting a democtratically appt'd judge down there just enormously). They file it seeking a federal judge to declare a state law invalid (very unlikely) and thus miss some deadlines to request their own recounts. Then, in an obvious attempt to get a better judge on all the other matters still pending, they decide to file an emergency suit in Tallahasee (good idea--better chance of getting a judge who might be affiliated with a repblican appointer) based upon the fact that the secretary of state lives in that county (a little far fetched since most of the suits they seek to combine have nothing to do with the secretary of state). But OK. Now, poor Bush team. They have to ask the state court judge assigned to their emergency hearing to recuse himself. OUCH!
