"Changing the rules in the middle of the game......." Hmmmmmm...........Maybe we could do that in the Olympics too ! How the heck did we get to this......???? Just the thought of changing the rules in the middle of the game is making a mockery of that we are a Nation of Laws and not of Men.

Cobalt Blue--my point, which i don't believe is so hard to understand, is predicated on Bush and Gore AGREEING to approach the FL legislature and having the legislature agree to an equitable solution fair to both sides, and whoever lost the manual recount would have agreed to stop the process there and support the winner. I realize that such a solution is anathema to those folks who want to press their partisan advantages, and to those folks I say I hope they enjoy their pyrrhic victory... ______________ Interesting argument you are making, what's wrong with changing the rules in the middle of the game? I heard it advanced last night by a Georgetown Law Professor. She said that 3 USC 5 is only a "safe harbor," so if the states want to change the laws after the election to affect the outcome, and Congress goes along with it, why not? Incredible! I am actually unable to formulate a response because the audacity is breath-taking. So much for the United States as we know it and love it. Hello, Imperial Rome. Hail, Caesar.
