How thick is blood anyways: This morning the Florida supreme court made a ruling that could change history and test the bonds of brotherhood. After losing two circuit court judgements Gore found himself the winner of a crucial Florida supreme court ruling. He will get to count the underreported votes in all counties, we are talking thousands of votes that the mechanical vote reader couldn't read because the chad had been dimpled and not punched through. This means a possible reversal of the presidential election vote. The supreme court further stated that should the Florida senate continue with it course to determine the electoral representatives for thier state (note:Florida is a Republican run senate so reps choosen will undoubtedly be Republican and inclined to vote for Bush)those representatives will be bound by the outcome of the recount. If Gore wins the recount and they choose to defy the recount and vote for Bush in spite of the ruling, the Florida Supreme Court will hold the Governer Jeb Bush and the Secretary of State in contempt of court. This in effect will leave Governor J Bush fined and possibly in jail, definetly he will be ruined politically. Are the bonds of brotherhood strong enough to risk that for the presidency?

Then there is the possiblity that florida will be sending 2 sets of electoral reps and the fight will be on as to who the federal governement will certify as the official electoral reps. Is it even the right of the florida senate to choose to quote one senator:

``I believe this is illegal, unconstitutional and plain wrong,'' Rossin said. ``Senators, no matter how bad you want the governor of Texas to be president, we cannot substitute our will for the will of the people. Our constituents sent us here to represent them, not to vote for them.''

So what will the Federal governement due faced with 2 sets of voters. Through them all out? Let the Senate decide? who knows? All I know is we are watching the folly of claiming to be democratic in a republic. For a country who fights for Democracy why is it the majority of this country's voices are being ignored? The Electoral collage was setup to help balance the power between low population and high population areas.Today, where the vote is so close and each and every person can have their voice heard in a second why do we need to remain a republic for things as inportant as the presidency let the people choose! OR is it that BIG BROTHER doesn't think we are smart enough to make that decision for ourselves we need professionals to make the final decision?

oh well check your history this year marks a 0 election year. Whomever becomes president they better watch thier back. History doesn't look good for them. Every president elected on such a year has had an assasination attmept made on their lives most didn't survive. So tell me do either of you BUSH or GORE really want to be president?
