I certainly would have ruled differently had I been on the bench. I think the argument that Klock, the lawyer for Sec. Harris, made was correct. The votes should have been certified ten days after the election to allow the parties to contest the matter in court, as the Florida law allows. There was nothing in the record for the Court to conclude that the hand recounts could not have been done in time. And the hand recounts could have been ordered by a circuit court judge, so there was no reason not to allow the legal process to operate as the Florida legislature designed it.

There was an adequate remedy for Gore in the statutory framework.

the guy may be a little strong in his langauage, but I agree 100% with what he says ... the legislature still has a little balance, but by and large the judiciary in this country has gone to heck ...
