John, RE: The same could be said for the FL SC. You choose to trust a full time politician rather than a group of Florida's best Judges. The courts are traditionally much less partisan.

I dunno.

It seems to me that a judge is just a whole lot better at the game, rather than more or less partisan.

John-- Re: You choose to trust a full time politician rather than a group of Florida's best Judges.

Actually, all you're trusting is the four junior members of the Florida Supreme Court. I'd suggest you (& the rest of the thread) read the Chief Justice's dissent-- he basically says the rest of the judges will be overturned on equal protection issues for the conflicting standards on what an "undercount" really is, are way overstepping their bounds by politicizing the judiciary, are making a totally unneeded constitutional conflict, and are basically morons. His dissent begins on page 40:

John,

courts are traditionally much less partisan

Out here in CA we had a rather activist partisan court when Rose Bird was presiding. I've heard comparisons of the FLSC to her court as being MORE activist and partisan.
