George W may sue to turn over the 7 judges

Jim Baker came out angry that it isn't fair that the democrats are changing the rule after the game was played . They say they will examine all there options to try to reverse this injustice.


I hope Bush goes down fighting and not wimp out. If the democrats are going to play dirty than the republicans need to play dirty to.
 
Won't be Bush that overturns the 6 democrats and 1 indy, it will be the Florida Legislature, the people that make the laws. The leaders of the state legislature are going to call for an emergancy session. They have the power to override the court, and seat a Bush electoral vote.
 
This would be a truly extreme measure. I hope people understand that this would be far, far beyond anything Gore has done to challenge the election in terms of its use of the blunt instruments of the law. If it takes action that drastic to seat a president, God help America, regardless of the outcome.
 
Well if the state legislature feels the Florida Supreme Court over stepped their bounds, which I agree they did, so do lots of people, they have every legal right to do what they are planning on doing. Its just the same thing, the US Congress can override the electoral college vote with a simple majority in the house and senate. Its in the constitution.
 
jacobnero6918 -- You obviously didn't listen to the actual court session or even the actual text of the announcement. If you had, you'd know that they grilled both sides quite hard, and their decision was well considered. I haven't had time to read all of it, yet, but their over-riding concern was to give every opportunity to every voter to have their vote counted. They put a time limit on it to avoid running out of time and having Florida lose their electoral voice.

BTW -- Isn't Georgie the one who said he wouldn't drag this into the courts, in the first place and then was the first to sue? Credibility? NOT!
 
SJ:

On what basis do you feel the Supreme Court overreached its bounds?

Reconciling facially inconsistent laws is part of the role of the courts, particularly courts of last resort (i.e., the US Supreme Court and its state analogues). In this case the laws could not realistically be applied simultaneously, as the provision allowing manual recounts made it logistically impossible for a larger county to submit certified ballots within seven days.

Your thoughts?

That is why the scorched earth plan of GW will fail miserably,not only on its merits in a court of law,but in the court of public opinion. I don't think the party loyalists have the stomach for a fight as drastic as using the partison legislature to attempt to overthrow a Supreme court.

I have not heard a single news caster talking head ratchet up that kind of dialog yet tonight. Only that Baker is studying his options. He should be stidying for a new job. He has failed GW miserably.
 
Tee_Edwards - Many people feel that the statutes were not in conflict and that the Court overstepped there authority to rewrite the laws (extend the deadlines) as they wished. Others feel that the Court was fine. I've heard some argue that the legislature has the power to decide that the Court errored.

As I posted in another thread, I think the house members will be taking a big political risk to overturn a vote. I doubt that they have the intestinal fortitude to do so.

Actually a CNN correspondent did say the Florida Legislature was strongly for a emergancy session to discuss the Supreme court matters.
 


<< Isn't Georgie the one who said he wouldn't drag this into the courts, in the first place and then was the first to sue? >>



Wrong. Bore was the first to sue. He withdrew the first one only because he realized it was filed in the wrong court.

That would be fine with Dems. Al Gore would win immediatly. He leads in the electoral collage now, 267/246 (not to mention 220,000 lead in popular vote. opps,I just mentioned it. TeHeHe)

You got links?
 
Sj - Oh, they'll discuss it alright. Now think, do you really expect them to take such an conterversial political stand?

Of course not, he's a politician and he's talking out his backside hole, as usual. j/k 😉
 
For those among us whose memory doesn't seem to last past each new news story:



<< The question of remedies available to judges took on a new urgency on Thursday when a Palm Beach County, Florida, voter filed a federal lawsuit seeking a new election. However, plaintiff's lawyers withdrew the lawsuit and planned to file it next week in state court, CNN learned. >>

Tripleshot,

If memory serves me, I think Russ is right. I recall Gore filing something early one, then withdrawing it. I'm not sure he ever refiled though.
 
Read the fine print. Gore does not have his fingerprints anywhere on that suit. It was a citizens suit over the buchanan vote problem. It was filed before the Gore team arrived in Florida.

You lose Russ.

Get over it!
 


<< Gore does not have his fingerprints anywhere on that suit. >>



Bwuahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! Good one! The DEMOCRAT party paid for the lawyer.



<< It was filed before the Gore team arrived in Florida >>



And yet another gem. Bore's legal team arrived in Florida the day after the election. Is your memory REALLY that bad?



<< On Wednesday, Gore dispatched a high-power legal team, including former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, to Florida to supervise the recount. >>

You claimed gore did it. You have been corrected.

Sorry your party has met such a tragic fate as to have fought and lost every legal argument they have put forth,and your favorite potted plant has steadily lost in the vote count,and nothing can be done to stop the hemorage.

MuWaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHahahaha!!! 😀😀😀😀😀
 
Nice try. There is no difference between Bore doing it, or one of his democrat lackey lawyers doing it. Face it, your ability to remember facts and details is completely gone. In the future you might want to keep a cheat sheet handy so you don't look so foolish.

Russ, NCNE
 
Russ
No try neccesary friend. You are beat by truth and the american way. You just assumed Gore paid for it. Fact is his team called them up to persuade them to pull back. I guess that cost $.35 for the call.

You poor guy. Your state voted for Gore. Your voters are going to send Carswell to the senate. You just can't win,can you?


Hmmm, If you can't win,YOU MUST BE A LOSER TOO!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!😉
