They said they would not intervene unless it was still up in the air on the 12th.

Greg, you keep saying you don't think it's necessary for the Florida Legislature to step in, and I keep saying that at worst, it's superfluous, and it may well be necessary, because we are in completely uncharted legal territory here. If I were a member of the Florida Legislature, I'd think that it was a good idea just to make sure. The alternative, that Florida's Electors MIGHT be unable to vote, is unacceptable.

I think the Florida Legislature is just making sure there isn't a last minute effort by the courts to change the electors. Whether this is done by the Supreme Court or by Nikki Clark in Seminole County matters not. Either one would go against the power of the Legislature and would justify their intervention. Whether or not this makes people "mad" is completely irrelevant. I hope they do get mad. If the Democrats get mad they will do something stupid and cost them the 2002 election as well as this one.
