OTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTO!

Just to keep you up to date on the very latest on my thinking on this matter. :))))))))))))))))

I have now sped read the USSC opinion.

I think Ruth wrote the opinion.

AND, this is NOT going to be easy for the FSC to restate. There is a cautionary "tone" which at first blush, seems to indicate that interpreting Fla ELECTION law is not like just interpreting an ordinary state statute.

AND, the FSC DID heavily rely on the FLA constitution in its initial opinion.

AND, no matter what spin Boies and Tribe put on this, the FSC has been VACATED, not remanded only for clarification.

The above are musings only and are preliminary unthought out opinion.

Duke,

re: "I am not so sure, at this time whether it was not intended as a "shot across the bow" of the FSC."

You could be right. It appears to be a simple request for clarification, but I guess nothing is too simple with these folks.

Regardless, you can hear the clock ticking, and each hiccup is another nail in Gore's coffin. After the circuit court rules on the contest, you still have review by the Florida SC, and assuming they win that, the count, all within eight days. Can't see it happening. I think the only thing that could turn the tide for Gore would be a ruling to throw out the absentee votes in Seminole or the other county (and I guess those are long shots).
