It was an appeals court. It'll go to the state supreme court soon. Not that it'll matter, unless the court decides to rewrite the law. Again. There's no way to finish the recount before the new, illegally imposed deadline.

It goes this way...appellants have a question regarding any given law and they go to the courts to find out how to construe said law.
Fascinating that how the system works.

And it's disturbing when that system DOESN'T work. There is NO law involving a second deadline. Since the court says that there IS such a deadline, it must have written a new law. What's more, this new law overrides all previous related laws. This is what we mean by "legislation from the bench." The court DID NOT have the authority to rewrite the law. Thus, their doing so was illegal.

Omega, so sue the State of Florida and that court in particular.... While your at it, sue Bush and Gore... Not for any money, but to end this BS.

Well, people don't wanna actually work for their money.... So the new American get rich quick scheme is to sue people for stupid shit. Some people do have a legit reason to sue, but most don't.

I suppose it would be too much to ask if you have the case law the Court looked at handy for actual proof Omega.
Naw, I guess not...but you just go ahead and shout all you want to because they ruled in a manner you didn't like. You do after all have the right to do so.

Omega, if I were you I'd argue that this isn't the Republican way, and if all those dimwitted, self centered, egotistical, obtuse, self serving, dangerous, liberal Democrats would just kill themselves the US would be a proper Republican place to live.......

Hold on there, you are the one who claims they are acting in a manner outside their jurisdiction and you want ME to do the research?
No, your are going to have to come up with this one all by your lonesome.
Please my beautiful child of the South, go out and buy a clue or back up the crap you spew.

Mind you Omega, I disagree with Gore moving to question in the courts...the recounts esp. the one now canceled in Dade.
But that no longer seems to be the question of the thread. You say that the Florida Court is acting outside its jurisdiction and I ask you to tell me how you came to that conclusion.
