Justice Kennedy and Scalia are questioning Boise: If the Florida Legislature changed the date like the FSC had; would that be a change in law? Boise said YES.
Then Boise was asked, If the FSC changed the date, would that be a change in Law? Boise said No, that is an interpretation.
O'Connor also questioning Boise on that: Shouldn't the FSC give the Legislature that deference.
She also says they never responded to the remand, to any questions of deadlines changes etc....
O'Connor: How could they include votes with regard to their prior decision if that decision had been vacated? OOPS. Wrong.

Justice Souter also saying that the FSC ordering that Palm Beach Ballots being added to the certification contravenes the decision which was vacated.

Boise was asked What kind of standard he would suggest. He couldn't answer.
Scalia said: You said Count the Votes?

How can you ask that votes from two counties with different standards be included in post certification if both had different standards. Isn't that a violation of the EPA? answering their questions.

If they order a recount, this will open up a can of worms for every single election.

Connors: Why can't the standard be following the directions?
