Perhaps Judge Sauls won't let them run out the clock. On Friday, the plainspoken judge told attorneys for Republican presidential candidate Bush and Democratic candidate Gore that the trial will be limited and to the point. "Let's get all the fluff off and proceed in this manner," he said, stressing that he wanted to have the trial over in 12 hours, -- an apparent rebuff of the Bush camp's plan to present as many as 95 witnesses in what the Gore camp attacked as a delaying tactic. "This is a trial contesting a state-wide election," he said. The trial must determine whether "the outcome of the election would be different" with a hand count, the judge said. Sauls said he would limit presentation of evidence to direct examination, cross examination and redirect examination "and not just back and forth ad infinitum." He said each side would be required to limit its presentation to just one witness on any given subject matter.
