Excerpts from NY Times today: "The court's interest in the case appears quite specific. The justices turned down Mr. Bush's broad constitutional attack on the manual recounts as violating the constitutional guarantees of equal protection, due process and freedom of political association. Rather, the court agreed to decide two more tightly focused questions presented in the Bush petition and added a question of its own. All three related to the intersection between the Florida Supreme Court's action on Tuesday and the prerogativbes that a state legislature enjoys under federal law and the United States Constitution to determine how a state's representatives are to be appointed....." "To the question about the federal law presented by the Bush appeal,...,the justices added a question of their own: 'What would be the consequences' of finding that the Supreme Court's decision did not comply with Title 3, Section 5?"
