Three of the attorneys on the Bush legal team -- John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett -- now sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.
In his book about losing, Gore write that each time he went to court, the Bush lawyers had already been there.....always a step ahead of him.
The brilliant legal moves on behalf of Bush were being made by James Baker, a onetime Secy of State.
I'm a bit wary......the Trump team seems to be using he self-same legal arguments used in the Bush/Gore fiasco that it was a violation of the “one man, one vote” to only partially count and SINCE they couldn’t count the whole state of Florida, Gore’s partial recount was invalid.
Do they justices want to go there, again?
NOTE: When the USSC ordered the Bush/Gore count to be stopped, it seemed more like the USSC’s acknowledgement of Democrats’ proclivities to count, recount, then count again, till they had the necessary votes to win.
In Bush v Gore the dispute was over a relatively few ballots, that might have been generously interpreted...this time it is millions of ‘manufactured’ votes.....
The intent is of an entirely different scale.
I remember the USSC ruling as Florida did not have the right to change their voting process after the election - could be wrong.
After the years of abuse of the "General Welfare" and "Commerce Clause", this is another example by the Founding Fathers that they couldn't foresee being abused by not putting the "Electoral College" under Federal guidelines in the Constitution.
Like me, they were mostly States Rights advocates so the Fedgov couldn't become all-encompassing. If only that had a crystal ball. An Amendment could have set strict Constitutional law that all States use the same procedures regarding the Electoral College. They had the right idea, just didn't take it far enough.
