I think folks on both sides may be reading too much into the court's order. To use a sports football analogy (which being a Notre Dame fan I cant avoid), thus far the Court has simply decided to review a call. They havent reviewed it yet, so we dont know what will happen when they do. All they have done up to this point is stop the game clock so that it doesnt run out before they have a chance to review the play.

Florida votes to reconfirm Supreme Court Justices every four years. If they do what it looks like they are going to do I would bet the greatest thrust in Florida will be to remove these people. If they usurp and show contempt for state law they don't deserve to serve. They are showing their partisanship which is very disgusting.

If they rule against the the Secretary, they will be unsurping the legislative process and taking more power than that which is granted them. Their job is not to make law, but to ensure it is followed.

Should be interesting to see whether the nearly all Democratic court will follow the rule of law, or find an excuse (for political reasons) to break it.
