Article IV, Section 4...(quote)"The United States guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.

That very well states exactly where the federal govt. had the power to act. The Gov. of FL made a call and told his agent to "see what you can get done federally." That gives the 'application of the executive' (Gov. Bush) and "shall protect each of them against ... domestic violence" spells out the obligation of the U.S. gov. to intervene. States rights aren't upheld or protected by letting them run rogue.

Nice try, no can do!This is your interpretation, not the Courts.
