Yep, and this about says it all: Shows the Frivilous nature of Gore's case - they basically have little if any witnesses - since they have basically no case ------------------ Fla. High Court Will Not Order Immediate Recounts Friday, December 1, 2000 The Florida Supreme Court refused Friday to order an immediate recount of disputed ballots from Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. The court thus refused to intervene in a formal trial-like proceeding in a state court, where Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls rejected Al Gore's recount request, at least until evidence can be heard on Saturday. "I have stated that there can be no ruling until there is evidence taken," said Sauls. While the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on weighty constitutional issues, Sauls grappled with more mundane legal questions — subpoenas for documents, motions by outside parties to intervene — and made clear he hopes the trial can be wrapped up in a single day. The Democrats contend, among other things, that Bush's attorneys are "threatening to make a mockery" of the proceedings before Sauls in Gore's lawsuit contesting the Florida outcome. They reacted in particular to a Republican proposed witness list of more than 90 people including the governors of New York and New Jersey and former presidential candidate Bob Dole. The Democrats noted they planned to call only two witnesses. Sauls said each side can call only one expert witness. The judge also ordered the impounding of an additional 1.2 million ballots in Volusia, Broward and Pinellas counties. The Bush campaign had asked that they be brought to Tallahassee, but agreed that the impounding would suffice. Bush spokesman Scott McClellan said, "We believe there were a number of illegal votes for Gore in those counties." The Republicans also proposed calling all members of election canvassing commissions in counties with disputes over ballots. While legal motions were under way Friday, a truck convoy carried more than a half million ballots from Miami-Dade County to Tallahassee. Whether Sauls would allow a recount of those ballots and another batch delivered by Palm Beach County was still in dispute.
