<ot>Hi Tim - I am very confused. Even if the attorney reversed himself, it would mean nothing to the precedent. Remember the situation with Roe vs Wade, as an example, the USSC ruling is the authority, not that original plaintiff, or her subsequent confessional, to be precise! Besides, I think the FLSC cited this as one of the supportive elements. Sec Baker's rebuttal is meaningless to the ruling. I mean, anyone could say USSC ruling on Roe vs Wade, as an example, is wrong. That doesn't expunge it as a major precedent for the abortion right people. Right now, politics and jurisprudence may be intertwined, they are separate issues. Maybe Sec Baker is a good jurist, but we should be skeptical to all sides, not just the side we don't want to hear :)! As far as the big picture of FLSC is concerned, I think we will know the outcome soon enough best, Bosco

Tim, I am not sure what the IL attorney retracted (he did sign an affidavit the first time, I heard of no affidavits the second time), but Boies would not rely just on one court case, thus he also relied on a ruling by the MA-SC. As for FL-SC "writing" law by extending the certification time, I think it is moot, they interpreted the law that stated that manual counts must ascertain the intent of the voters, and then decided that it was impossible to do it in the time frame dictated by the certification dead line, and did what any court would do, find a modus vivandi between two conflicting laws, not writing a new law. If The Florida legislature interpret that any differently, then we will have some real "pandora box" events. The contest period (contemplated by the legislature and by the FL-SC) is now in place and let see what the results of this contest are. Zeev
