chomolungma, Thanks for the article; I've seen a similar one in the Washington Post. The most troubling aspect of either article to me was the potential of the State Legislature ignoring the Supreme Court. Not necessarily in terms of giving the electoral votes to Bush but in terms of the appearance of fairness. As I type, I'm listening to the oral arguments in the Florida Supreme Court...we're into the second half <s>. Super questions from the Justices, the law, the interpretation, the remedy, consistency....good questions and some good responses from both sides. Though the questions are better than the answers. A nice part of the orals is that most of the BS has to be dispensed of. The Justices don't like BS. I digress, but there is a point to it. The Supreme Court is making the issues and the rationale open to full public view without the hype. The fringes of the right or left will only hear there view of it, but the middle [the large percentage of the American people] can see and understand why the decision was made. If it gets turned over to the legislature where there are no limits on BS usage. We won't have a sense of justice served. What's it going to take to end all this? Maybe, the fat lady has to . . . die? It that's what it takes, get the gun.. Best Regards, jttmab
