I can only explode when I bother to read something. This thread activates my internal self-defense mechanisms, though, causing the fluid in my eyes to ignite and boil away, thus saving my life. It hurts, but it's a good hurt.

Apparently, there's an article in the Wall Street Journal that briefly mentions that Gore campaign staffers are now hard at work 'obtaining information' on Republican Electors, so that an effort might be made, since electors don't HAVE to vote for their candidate even though they're supposed to, to 'persuade' them to vote for Gore instead.
*Insert "Godfather" theme here*
'Hey, Al! You heard about McKennitt?' 'The Bush elector? What about 'er?' 'Apparently, she's a lezbo!' 'Really? Well, ah, tell 'er if she don't vote Gore, maybe we'll have to come OUT wit dat, if youse knows what I mean...'

At this time, I am compelled to point out that the US Supreme Court has just ruled. They agree with my position, in that they see no constitutional or statutory authority that supports the Florida Supreme Court's decision to rewrite the law. They are therefore asking for an explaination from said Florida court.

Props to the Supreme Court. Such is our system.
Say, did anyone esle listen to the arguments before the Court? Great stuff.
It seems that the Supreme Court feels that USC section 5 trumps the Florida Court decision.

Funny. My understanding was that they decided that they couldn't figure out what was the legal basis for the ruling, not that they found a law overriding said basis. Thus they sent it back to ask for more info on the basis. There wasn't even enough info there to make a ruling on.
