No. I think you're either Scalia or Thomas. The former does
understand the electorl count and latter doesn't, so I submit
that you are Judge Thomas. (Actually, he does understand,
but he does whatever Scalia tells him to do.)

Amazingly, we now have an extra US Supreme Court Justice in
our midst. Wow.

I am not a US Supreme Court Justice, but unlike you, I understand how the
electoral college system works. The fact is under the Electoral Count Act
of
1887, once a candidate has been certified, no court can take those
electors
away.

IF Gore had won the standardless partial recount as ordered by the FSC,
just
exactly how does he win the electoral college??

You are citing facts that have nothing to do with the issue. Bu****
was elected by the Supreme Court, because they are the ones
that blocked further attempts to have an accurate count.

A standardless, partial recount of the ballots would have been thrown
out by the US House because of violations of 3 U.S.C. section 5.

The fact is Gore lost that day Bush was certified the winner of the
state of Florida.



He also
lost the popular vote in Florida by every reasonable measure.

You're the idiot. He was elected by his buddies in the Supreme
Court.

That is incorrect. Bush was certified the winner of the state two
weeks before that decision was handed down from the SCotUS (thanks
to
the 7-0 decision of the Florida Supreme Court).

Stuart Taylor discussing the ramifications of the Bush being the
certified winner of the state and the decision of the Florida
Supreme
Court in Palm Beach County Canvassing Board vs. Harris:

"Rougher translation: We're giving you a chance to explain your
way
out of the Federal law trap into which you stumbled on Nov. 21.
But
we
don't see how you can do it. And by the way, it isn't only us that
you
have to convince. Under another provision of that 1887 act (3
U.S.C.
section 15), the Bush electors that Gov. Jeb Bush has already
certified and sent to Congress, via the archivist of the United
States, will be the ones counted, unless any Gore electors
approved
by
the Florida courts can pass muster with both the
Republican-controlled
House and the Senate. Not much chance of that."

The order of the FSC on 12/8/2000, which was overturned by the
SCotUS
on 12/12/2000, was for a standardless, partial recount of disputed
ballots. Do REALLY expect anyone to believe that the Republicans
would
have allowed Gore to keep those electors over the slate of Bush
electors that were already certified??



Clinton was one of the best presidents ever. Bu**** is
a ****ing liar. You deal with it.

Like last time??? Hahaha... he lost the popular vote and was
elected by the Supreme Court. This time, he's going to lose
fair and square.


For those of you to stupid to go past third grade, only the
Electoral
College can elect the president. The Electoral College has
elected
every president since and including George Washington. Every
one.

The Supreme Court doesn't have the authority to elect a dog
catcher.
Gore lost. Deal with it. Don't make yourself look even more
stupider.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
