Ordered to bring
Order - Bush Wins! Al Gore's bid to be President ends with the United States Supreme Court speaking in a 7-2 decision to reverse the Florida Supreme Court. It is amazing to listen to all the Gore supporters read the two dissenters but ignore the order of the seven. The words, "It is so ordered." is what counts. This is what brings order to an election that has gone on too long. Add to that the words, " The judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion." ends the matter once and for all. What the Supreme Court is telling Florida is not to do anything to try and reverse this decision or we will issue another order ending this once and for all. We applaud the majority decision and congratulate Gov. Bush as our next President of the United States of America. Let us setup the party stage in Austin and let the celebration begin! Bush wins! Read the rest for yourself: "Because it is evident that any recount seeking to meet the December 12 date will be unconstitutional for the reasons we have discussed, we reverse the judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida ordering a recount to proceed. Seven Justices of the Court agree that there are constitutional problems with the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court that demand a remedy." "Given all these factors, and in light of the legislative intent identified by the Florida Supreme Court to bring Florida within the "safe harbor" provision of 3 U. S. C. §5, the remedy prescribed by the Supreme Court of Florida cannot be deemed an "appropriate" one as of December 8. It significantly departed from the statutory framework in place on November 7, and authorized open-ended further proceedings which could not be completed by December 12, thereby preventing a final determination by that date. For these reasons, in addition to those given in the per curiam, we would reverse. " "None are more conscious of the vital limits on judicial authority than are the members of this Court, and none stand more in admiration of the Constitution’ s design to leave the selection of the President to the people, through their legislatures, and to the political sphere. When con-tending parties invoke the process of the courts, however, it becomes our unsought responsibility to resolve the federal and constitutional issues the judicial system has been forced to confront. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion. Pursuant to this Court’ s Rule 45.2, the Clerk is directed to issue the mandate in this case forthwith. It is so ordered." |
