That's very good. Someone please tell me why this case went directly to the state supreme court.

Good question re. the FSC. It probably has something to do with our AG Bob Butterworth.

The press neglected to tell the American people that Florida's AG Bob Butterworth (recently resigned to run for state senate) was a Democrat (Fla.'s the only state in the nation where most of the Cabinet is elected by the Fla. voters, not chosen by the Gov.). The press didn't mention that Bob Butterworth was Al Gore's Fla. campaign manager, a Dem. Fla. electorate, and a 2000 DNC Convention platform chairman (where he vowed to get rid of both Jeb and George). The press never asked BoB Butterworth to recuse himself. Fla. AG Bob Butterworth not only didn't recuse himself, he traveled around the state during the recounts telling crowds why he thought the FSC should choose our President though he swore to uphold our state's constitution and our state law doesn't give the FSC this authority.

The press is still condemning Katherine Harris for missing an election deadline to run for the House this year, but AG Butterworth did the same thing to run for state senate and not a peep from the press.
