Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist announced last week that he was going to
return to the Supreme Court yesterday. He did not return. According to the
New York Times his office released a terse statement saying that the Chief
Justice spent 7 days at Bethesda Naval Hospital where he was treated for
thyroid cancer. He underwent a tracheotomy so he could breathe and he is now
being given both chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Medical experts say
this evidence suggests that the cancer was not successfully removed and that
even with heroic treatment, patients with this type of cancer usually die
within a year. Should the election end up in the Supreme Court, it is not
known whether Rehnquist will particpate in the case and vote on the outcome.
Should he decline to participate due to ill health, the deadlock in the
country might end up in a Court itself deadlocked 4-4. In such an event, the
lower court ruling stands but no legal precedent is set. An alternative
scenario is that Chief Justice Rehnquist resigns and that President Bush
makes a recess appointment, which does not require Senate confirmation. If
Bush were to appoint a new justice without Senate confirmation who then cast
the deciding vote to make Bush president I fear for the future of the
country. Let us hope somebody wins big today with no litigation. Do your
part and vote.

The election cannot end up in SCotUS any more than the last one did. The
court never elected anybody. It simply ruled that the vote count in Florida
had to proceed IAW the procedures Florida had established before the
election instead of IAW with procedures that changed daily. That was a valid
decision despite the unfortunate result.

I don't expect we'll find out who won until Xmas.

More accurately...

This is one of the Rep's most hallowed hopes.

Ahhh deception piled on deception. IF Bush won its by the skin of his teeth
against the worst candidate the 'crats could have put foreward and that by
resorting to vile slanders. If they "pro-lifers" were really pro-life
they'd oppose executions. Fact is they are weirdos who eat their god and
demand we all obey their equally unnatural notions of human life.
