<<the politicization of the Fla SC. But then, they've long been known as a very activist, liberal court. Main difference is that up to now they've been opposed to citizen decision making (perpetually void initiative drives for absurd reasons). Suddenly they're the friends of the voters?>>

Funny, I see a lot of similarities with the US Supreme Court. The Court has long maintained a trend towards state rights and suddenly they want to have a say in a state's actions.

Christopher, IMO you can thank Jim Baker for "politicizing" the FL SC. It was he who said their decision was "unacceptable" and spurred the legislature to begin making noise about a new set of electors. It is only the Republicans who have leveled charges of the court "making new law." Gore has had numerous losses but not once have they made that charge. Not even against Sanders Saul, who BTW has had 179 cases reversed on appeal.
