kodiak, RE: election. The writing has been on the wall for the last week or so. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong at this juncture. There is no remedy available because the legislatures, both national and Floridian, did not provide the timely procedures and time needed to undergo the extensive litigation and recounting necessary to painstakingly resolve this complex and hotly contested kind of dispute. Bush wins because the last properly counted results must be credited. Ed

Looks like Sauls wont rule until he reviews the Supes decision. Dont think the Florida case has to be reopened. They just have to resubmit why they ignored the Sec 5 that the US sups said was pertinent, the way i read it.

<OT> Kodiak, Thought you and the thread would appreciate this little ditty.... ___________ T'was the night before the Electoral and all through the land The people were furious, saying "let them pound sand!" The lawyers were assembled in DC with care In hope that Dems would concede: "Yes.. this is now fair!". Republicans were warmly nestled in their beds, While visions of the presidency danced in their heads The Dems with their rhetoric; the VP setting traps had the NASDAQ poised on the verge of collapse. When out in Miami there arose such a clatter We tuned in to CNN to see what's the matter And what to their wondering eyes should appear but millions of ballots, cruising like reindeer "Let's contest the race, let's challege the vote!" Dems prayed for the miracle; can even chad float? More loyal than dogs, his supporters they came And he whistled for the troops and shouted them by name Now Daschle, Now Gephardt, forget about Vixen! On Kennedy! On Hillary! Hell, I'll be no Nixon! From Miami-Dade to the Washington Mall Now dash away, Spin away, Steal them all And then the Republicans heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof As they scratched their head and were turning around Resilient old Al pulled another yet rebound. No longer would he consider "THE" big humble pie While stalling the process with lawyers from the sky A bundle of ballots he would fling at the court, Hoping against hope not to come up again short. His eyes how they twinkled, his smile so bright he cursed the injustice - he wanted a fight. His droll big mouth was all drawn in a grin his unspoken goal was to fool them again The stump of a stogie could be seen in his teeth, The smoke had encircled his head like a wreath "We shall fight on, and we're not giving in..." "Let's recount the ballot, I just have to win" He looked confident and strong, an arrogant young kid, "For the sake of the nation, I do what I did." With a wink of his eye and a twist of his head He soon let them know, they had something to dread He spoke the right words, and went straight to his work Ignoring the fact, that some think him a jerk And shaking his finger, and thumbing his nose "I'm not giving up," no power's deposed, He turned to his spinmeisters and gave them the whistle They cheered Fast Al, as they launched legal missiles They heard him exclaim, with the election far from sight "Merry Xmas to all, and God Bless me in this fight"
