Joe, It is indeed terra incognita. A first call sees the federal courts siding with the Fla legislature by chastising the state Supremes. I am not sure if the feds will look into the Dems actions in forcing large numbers of elderly people to vote by aggressive bussing. Many of them were capable and alert, however many were virtually incompetent and incapable of voting. This was shown by the large numbers of various kinds of spoiled ballots. Those with no votes, duplicated votes, pregnant or other chads(will anyone call their newborn "Chad" in the near future?) and other evidence of incapacity to understand the voting process and to operate the machinery. i do not wish to dent the vote to elderly people, however we deny the right to drive to certain people with a proven incapacity to operate a car? do we not? Is there a need to qualify voters on other grounds than dead/alive? Slippery slopes here, potential for progressive bias of various kinds? Bill

Why, perchance, do you think the Bush campaign co-chair is more adept at interpreting the law than the Florida Supreme Court? Your own legal expertise, or just what you read in the lockstep rants from the bloviating pundits of the right? Impeachment is, of course, obviously a popular tool of the right when politics by conventional means fails. Personally, I think the main problem with election rules in Florida seems to be that they end up under the supervision of anybody's campaign co-chair, who considers her personal views beyond the reach of judicial oversight. That's not a legal opinion, though.
