I thought you unbookmarked this thread. Just a glutton for punishment, aren't you? Pam Karlan is a Crit, a proponent of Critical Legal Theory, which is a method of legal analysis used by Socialists. She doesn't believe in objective standards, she believes that what is right depends on the person seeking redress. Poor and disadvantaged people should have more rights than corporations and the rich. So excuse me while I retch. She's no more objective than you are, or I am. Either you didn't do your homework, or you agree with her frame of reference. Either way, I glad to deconstruct your post.

<<...in view of the Florida Supreme Court decision of this morning, that the course that would have to followed by the Secretary of State would be to allow the hand re-count to proceed and once the result of the recount was presented to the Secretary of State, that she would at that point, and not before, make her decision as to the materiality of the changed vote count. >> Ms. Harris has clearly decided to make her decision to reject those votes even before they have been given to her.

I just logged back onto SI, haven't read the thread yet so don't know if anyone posted this yet, but the Florida Supreme Court didn't TELL Ms. Harris anything, nor did it say that the handcounts could continue, it did not say anything but deny the petition for extraordinary writs without prejudice to petitioners presenting the issues in the trial court. I guess you could say that the Florida Supreme Court allowed the hand recounts to continue by not stopping them, but that doesn't mean that Harris' decision not to accept them was wrong. I have not seen Harris' letter either, but look forward to it. If she did it right, the game should be over. Supreme Court of Florida WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2000 CASE NO.: SC00-2345 KATHERINE HARRIS as SECRETARY OF STATE OF FLORIDA, et al. vs. CIRCUIT JUDGES OF THE ELEVENTH, FIFTEENTH, AND SEVENTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUITS OF FLORIDA, et al. _______________________________________________________________ Petitioners Respondents We have before us the Emergency Petition for Extraordinary Relief of Secretary of State Katherine Harris, in which petitioners request that this Court enter a writ of mandamus under authority of article V, section 3(b)(8) or section 3(b)(7) of the Florida Constitution, which provide that this Court may issue writs of prohibition to courts and all writs necessary to the complete exercise of our jurisdiction. We have considered this petition and have determined that the petition should be denied without prejudice to petitioners appropriately presenting all issues in the trial court. Therefore, the petition is denied without prejudice. It is so ordered. WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., concur. A True Copy tc Served: THERESA LEPORE L.
