From a DUh poster:
Clever, clever CA Court!
If they are NOT using it as a precedent[Bush vs Gore Florida 2000], then the SCOTUS cannot overrule or refuse the case based on their earlier ruling saying that Florida 2000 could NOT be used as a precedent!
They would either have to:
A) take the case and independently make the same ludicrous ruling again
B) take the case and use their own ludicrous ruling as a precedent (despite them saying that no one should ever do so)
C) take the case and uphold it (in which case they would be conflicting with their ruling in Florida 2000) or
D) or not take the case at all.
As I stated above, even if they did not take the case, the debate will come to the fore, which will result in new questions about the legitimacy of the decision in Florida 2000, and therefore, the legitimacy of the Bush presidency itself.
Clever, clever CA Court! They could end up making the CA recall backfire in a big way

Is this guy blowing smoke or what?
He thinks the 9th is being brazenly cunning.
Chemical-laced smoke, perhaps.
