I am listening to him right now, and what I heard him say was that the United States Supreme Court would probably review the appointment of Electors by the Florida Supreme Court. My thought is that the United States Supreme Court would review it to give it their blessing and reassure people that it is OK, for all the good it will do.

I should mention that as a member of the Fairfax Bar Association I have been privileged to hear Justice Scalia address our organization on Law Day on the topic of judicial restraint - similarly, as a member of the Federalist Society, I have heard addresses by learned scholars including the unjustly maligned Robert Bork. So I may be justly described as biased - but I think I am right about how the United States Supreme Court would rule if the issue was presented to them.

This is one of those fascinating issues that perhaps only a lawyer can love.

God! This is so much fun! The sea change that has occurred since the debacle involving the appointment of Judge Bork to the United States Supreme Court seems to have occurred under the radar screen of the mass media.
