Amy,

You need to read the US SC's conclusions.
The US SC didn't bother with the 14th amendment issue.


There may be a misunderstanding. Bush's lawyers filed 2 separate cases. 1 has to do with FL SC ruling, the other with recounts. The recount issue is based on 14th amendment, the FL SC is not.

US SC took on the FL SC case, and didn't take the recount case. The FL SC case doesn't involve 14th amendment, but the article of the constitution having to do with how the electors are chosen and a federal law stating that the rules governing the elections must be agreed upon prior to the elections, not after. In light of this, I am confused about your statement that said:

But the US SC didn't bother with this, because the FL SC had asked Bush if he wanted a manual recount and Bush said no. Thus, there was no 14th amendment issue.
