Which Government? Which branch of The state of Florida's G'vt do you want to fire, Executive, Judicial , or legislative? I'm guessing that the statement you made was just hyperbole for effect or to show your disgust with the whole affair. As far as the court decision I thought the reason the case was before the court was not to decide whether there should be a recount in "certain" counties. But to interpret the the statute written by the legislature, as to function of deadlines in an election. This is the function of the court, so there's no "legal fraud" there, the problem they ran into was by dismissing the statute and creating a new statute which was not the function of the court in elections, but the function of the legislature as mandated by the constitution of the state of Florida. That's why the U.S. Supreme court stepped in because a state had violated Federal law as to the 14th amendment; "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." By throwing out the statute and creating a new one the FL SC tried to enforce a law which denied GWB equal protection under the law. The election couldn't have gone to the house because the election wasn't over unitl Florida decided whether to certify their vote count or submit no count. Which would have been a great injustice to all the voters in Florida. Do you think Al Gore would have accepted the Presidency without the vote of millions of Floridians counting. You bet he would have accepted. Wasn't the mantra, every vote must count? Only if the outcome was in his favor. I'm not trying to flame you but I don't understand your point.

Oenethera just registered here today. I think they're an Algor shill because they bashed Dean awhile ago. O person is also hung up on the election in Florida which came out right even with all the voter fraud in S. Florida. I lived through it.

I saw the letters from Algor's attorneys to Florida ABA members recruiting them to join the recount challenges including of military ballots and challenging the butterfly ballot. They faxed the office I was working in.

The outside rent a mobs and their attorneys, including Boies blew it. Boies presented false evidence and their statistical expert had no facts. So, they got caught thanks to Judge Saul Sanders, bless him, and the real winner is POTUS Bush. Sanders was a Circuit Court Judge so all the cryin' about the Supreme Court is immaterial.

We now have the best, most expensive voting system in the country. You activate your voter card and after you vote, you turn it back in and it will only work once.
