Florida Circuit Judge Sanders Sauls ruled for Bush-Cheney in rejecting the Gore appeal for a recount in three counties. Instead he ran rough-shod over a right many Americans thought was guaranteed the right to have your vote counted. The courts are collaborating with the Bush-Cheney strategy of running out the clock until the Dec. 12 deadline for naming Florida s electors. The Republican-controlled Florida Legislature is also part of this squeeze play, threatening a special session to hand pick electors with no regard for the six million votes cast in the Sunshine State. The ball may be in the courts, but the real control of this situation is in the streets.
Courts rule on laws, but people power can change unjust laws and rulings.
