...thereby take away the "discretion" of the Sec of State and replace it with their own set of standards under which she can certify I'm also not a lawyer (thank goodness), but what you state is the reason that I believe the SP will uphold the previous ruling. Otherwise, they would have to set their own standards, and would have to write entire law libraries to cover all possible situations. There is a reason why an elected official is given discretion -- to allow them to exercise their judgement, in a fair, impartial, and non-arbitrary way. Once she certifies, I suppose the dems could then bring her decision to court and argue that it was arbitrary, but not before.
