"The Florida Legislature had set a deadline by which all county election results must be certified and submitted to the Florida Secretary of State. The Gore team sued Katherine Harris when she tried to enforce that deadline. The state circuit and appellate courts ruled for Harris, however the Florida Supreme Court (6 of the 7 justices are Democratic appointees) sided with Gore, overruled the Legislature and made up a new deadline. The US Supreme Court vacated that ruling and restored the deadline that had been set by the Legislature."

It took 21 posts, but the key point, IMHO, was finally made. Gore & his minions tried to change the rules of the "game" after the game had started and was almost over.

And would have eventually been defeated by the very Constitution that they loathe.

It is very wrong for us to rejoice over yet another usurpation by the Supreme Court of powers that belong, in this case explicitly (Art. II, Amend. XI) to the People.
