Re: "The Florida law allows hand recounts. The SOS (AKA Bush's campaign manager) blocked the recounts for several days, then declared that time had run out" Get a clue Scumbria. The SOS didn't block anything and the Democratic Supreme Court set the deadline. Maybe this is too tramatic for you to accept but let me repeat, the Democratic Supreme Court set the deadline. The SOS respected the SC imposed deadline. Get over it. Re: "Who was breaking the law?" Are you nuts??? EP

Of course, after the court ruled, higher and lower Republicans took matters into their own hands, in good "law and order" Republican fashion. This story, like the Seminole absentee ballots, has been kicking around for a while. A clip I saw today: Katherine Harris’s anticlimactic certification settles nothing. The Supreme Court is a different matter. If it sides with Bush after hearing arguments Friday, Gore should quit. There has to be some controlling legal authority. Until then, chalk one up for orchestrated street action, which intimidated the Miami-Dade canvassing board into its historic decision not to do what is done in close elections in most states: recount by hand. Those GORE-LIEBERMAN signs amended by Bush supporters to read SORE-LOSERMAN should have been a tip-off about the “spontaneity” of these protests. Amusing the first time they appeared and the second time, but the 28th time? This was AstroTurf, not grass roots; the ground has swollen in Florida courtesy of what were known in the 1960s as “outside agitators.” The only difference is that this year, the Yippies are mainstream party professionals from as far away as Alaska, having fun in the sun on a Bushman’s holiday. (from msnbc.com ) All the righteous right whiners around here are pikers compared to the professionally orchestrated variety. Or maybe they're all the same, and they're getting the paid basher kickbacks the bus people were always fantasizing about. Who can say?
