If FL could not guarantee its citizens equal protection in 2000, why does this not apply now across state lines

That's a really good question. To me that lack of any good answers to that from the courts, and SCOTUS sitting this out so far leads to the question, was the Rhenquist Court politically active for Bush, or is the Roberts Court politically hostile to Trump? The only possible distinction is that in 2000 Bush brought the suit himself, while now Trump has relied on his campaign company. That leads to a legal issue about standing which the circuits split on, and needs SCOTUS to resolve, and they are taking their time on that..

I’m betting that the new USSC members who were personally involved in the 2000 election case will help swing any decisions toward Trump. I’m not ashamed of that naked partisanship on MY part either, as that as why each side fights so hard for their respective appointments. My concern, is that they will over-correct in an attempt to appear objective, as Roberts is at best already known for.

Thanks again.

I imagine that whether or not the court is playing politics, they ought to be held to what is now precedent and surely one way to find out is for the suits I mentioned to be filed. It seems to me (not a lawyer) that if the 14th amendment applied then it must apply now, and going forward, whatever decision is made, it may help to prevent fraudulent elections to the level we are witnessing now. Thanks again.
