November 20, 2000 I was skeptical about the impartiality of the wholely Democrat Florida Supreme Court coming into the hearing. If appearences mean anything, this court most closely resembles a PARTISAN POLITICAL KANGAROO COURT. The Justices hacked the Bush attornies to threads, while hugging the Gore attornies until their teddy bear stuffing almost came out!
Chief Justice Charles Wells began, seemingly glorified with his place in the limelight, " Welcome to the Florida Supreme Court...hearing a matter of great importance for our country and the world ". He declared, " The court has considered the papers the lawyers have filed ". He preached that they were ready to, " Get right to the heart of the matter; we are fully cognizant of the facts ". The only thing this group was to prove they were cognizant of was their PARTY AFFILLIATION!
Each side supposedly was to get one hour each to present their cases, but this was to be heavily skewed in favor of the DIRTYcRATS.
Paul Hancock presented the arguement for the Democrat Attorney General of Florida, Robert Butterworth. He started, " Public officials have the responsibility to count and recognize all votes from all individuals...including the military ". Yeah, right; I bet they inserted the " including the military " part after the big stink the people made after DIRTYcRATS threw out almost fifteen hundred military ballots!
Justice Wells began with a feel good softball question, " What prejudice is there to voters with votes already certified "?
Hancock thought there was none, obviously, and went on, " The difference between the interpretations of the Attorney General and the Secretary of State...the County Board makes the decision ".
Like it was a scripted Democrat exchange in the House of Representitives, Justice Quince asked the other partisan Democrat, " Does the Secretary of State play a part "? The obvious answer from Hancock was, " NO ".
Justice Pariente, another of the rank partisans on the bench did actually question, " Is it ( the right for endless recounts? ) statutory or a common law right "? She then remarked about about a. " lack of unformity ( in counting practises? ) from county to county ". This was to be as arguementitive as she would get with her fellow Democrats! Hancock responded inexplicably by quoting Indiana law?
Wells began to join the RAT LOVE-FEST with, " This is about amended certification ". And he asked the first question which betrayed his YELLOW RAT STRIPE DOWN HIS BACK, " What is the outside date which puts Florida's electoral votes in jeopardy ". Hancock responded with a date which would leave no room for contesting or protesting the VIOLENTLY SKEWED DIRTYcRAT BALLOT BOX STUFFING OUTCOME, " December 12th ".
I'M GETTING A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS...
Hancock asked them to, " Establish how the votes are counted ", but instead Justice Anstead put on his partisan political party hat with an open ended invitation for the Gore team to pontificate, " What is the purpose of the statute "? Hancock was allowed to vomit, " The actions of the Secretary of State was a NO vote ", not, " discretion ", and, " It was not guided by sound principles; it elevated machines over people ". This commie lawyer forgets the machines were instituted to stop human meddling!
Justice Harding seemed to join the Democrat exchange by throwing more fuel on the fire for the RATS with," If we knock out the seven days...what do we do with the statute "? Hancock compliantly replied, " The law has to be read in it's entirety ". Pariente piped, " What evidence do we have that it couldn't be done in seven days ", to which Hancock sung, " There is none ".
Bruce Rogow, attorney for the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board, began by claiming, " There was one member of the board who asked the Secretary of State for an opinion ". Huh? He continued, by stating the obvious, " The count was stopped on the order of the Secretary of State ". He was led to a description of the supposed fairness of the counters ( alleged ballot box meddlers/stuffers ), " They could see the chads had been penetrated and decerned the intent of the voter ".
Jutice Lewis sounded more like a Gore Campaign lawyer, first rhetorically questioning, " The statute for contesting the election is written in the law, wouldn't we leave little time for that "? He then firmly attached his Gore/Lieberman 2000 button with, " Does the recount count: several hundred people have been working...in the open ". WHAT A LYING DIRTYcRAT! I can't believe what I heard; this HANGING JUDGE KNOWS DARN WELL THAT MIAMI-DADE HAS CLOSED THE PROCESS TO THE PRESS AND CAMERAS. I fear they are doing their DIRTYcRAT DIRTY WORK IN THE BACK ROOMS PUSHING OUT GORE HOLE CHADS!!!
Justice Shaw hit the new RAT MANTRA instead of doing judicial duties, with another highly partisan Democrat inspired rhetorical question, " Does she ( Harris ) have any discretion or are all of her duties ministerial "?
Andrew Meyers, Broward County Canvassing Board attorney, seemingly after not manufacturing the needed number of Gore votes wanted to, " Go back and apply a new standard ( to counting ballots ) ".
MEYER MEANS PIG IN GERMAN!!!
Meyer and Harding seemed to be doing a PARTISAN POLITICAL DUET TO DEBUNK THE GOP CASE, beginning with Meyers, " You raised the question about numbers of counting teams. After the counting, all the ballots go to the three canvassing board members ". He claimed, " In Broward County, the counting teams are vastly ahead of the board ". Harding chimed in on cue, so that Meyer could make his morally relativistic point, " Isn't there something unusual in changing the way they are counted ", as an introduction to Meyer preaching, " No, the end justifies the change ". Oh man, this DIRTYcRAT is really a , DNC uber alles, THE END JUSTIFIES WHAT EVER MEANS IMAGINABLE, partisan political hack!
David Boies, attorney for the Gore/Lieberman 2000 campaign, did the democrat spinmeister thing on the validity of the recount with, " After the official returns are in, there is official certification and a declaration of the winner. After seven days the vote will be supplemented by absentee and manual ballots ". It doesn't say that anywhere in the written Florida law? Chubby Checker would have loved how this guy can twist and shout!
Not wanting to be left out of the Democrat love-in, Wells may have betrayed his own partisan political nature of non-objectivity and that his mind is already made up in favor of Gore, as he wanted his Democrat friends to clarify how much time they needed ( for the Teamsters to manufacture the desired number of Gore votes in the back rooms of Florida to win? ), with, " If we have a contest going on in Broward County, how could Governor Bush contest that "? He seems to be conceding that Gore will be successful in finding ( creating? ) the needed votes and they must at least have the appearance they left him enough time to get his day in kangaroo court? Boies, not wanting to show that he knew this was all a pre-ordained exercise in party propaganda, took his turn, " Tell the county board you have this amount of time ( to do the counting ) ". Harding seemed to be planning a Gore victory celebration with, " Do we know how long it will take to do these things ", though did have to add an air of speculation ( to still seem objective to the double digit IQ crowd? ) which actually was just the straight line for Boies to play off of, " Is this not something the legislation tried to do ", in writing the statute? Boies took his cue perfectly, as if they had worked on the timing like a Saturday Night Live skit, " There is nothing in the statute about official returns. It does not contemplate a seven day deadline ".
Another Justice wanted to join the Boies set up act, with, " This statute covers local, state and national elections ", while Justice Shaw also weighed in with another set up for Boies, " Why shouldn't the Secretary of State set the date and not the court "? The court listened like Boies was telling them what to do, " The Secretary of State's function is ministerial in nature only ( meaning her elected office is that of a paper pusher only? ) ". Giving further orders to his KANGAROO RAT COURT, Boies instructed, " As long as the manual recount will not impare the final certification of Florida's electoral votes, it should be allowed ". Quince just couldn't resist jumping on the Gore bandwagon with another softball line for Boies, " Should we be concerned about the time "? Boies further taught the RATS more DIRTYcRAT JUSTICE, with, " This court should act judiciously ". He clarified Florida law for them with, " If you go back to Florida law, it has always been the intent of the voter. Look at the ballot ". Quince threw the pitch back, " Any mark on a ballot should be used to discern the intent of the voter "? Boies answered a simple, " Yes ".
Pariente broke the Democrat hand holding and kumbaya singing with a remark designed to extract more clarification for the assembled media Gore supporters, " In Palm Beach dimpled chads are counted but in Broward they are not ". Does this mean, " certain counties have a greater voice "? Boies seemed to ignore the cue line, instead saying, " Any candidate could request a manual recount. We will have uniformity ". Huh? He finally addressed the previous set up line, " Vice President Gore informally said he would accept a statewide manual recount ".
In a crude partisan political attempt to discredit Secretary Harris but appear impartial, Judges Shaw and Wells joined Boies in a terrible trio. Shaw, " You said you thought the Secretary could supply a final date ". Boies continued to hit the RAT MANTRA, " ministerial act ". Wells, " You keep saying ministerial; doesn't the Secretary have a duty to protect Florida's votes "? The NO was implied in the sarcastic tone!
At the break, Fox's Paul Rothstein said that he thought, " They are concerned about time ".
Next, the Republicans got to plead their case, in what seemed to be a highly charged partisan political DIRTYcRAT atmosphere, with their time considerably more protracted than that of the Gore Campaign. (DN)C-Span neglected to or was slow to show the names of the Bush counsels on television. This is proof positive that when left to their designs, C-Span is just another propaganda organ of the DNC!
Chief Justice Wells put his partisan nature up on a pedestal with, " The real parties at interest are the voters ", while Joe Klock, attorney for the Secretary of State's office began, " If the votes cannot be certified, then contending them cannot go on ". Wells showed how much he cares about the deadline written in Florida law as he questioned Klock, " On what date does the Secretary think her certification is jeopardized "? Klock tried to stick to the issue, stating it was, " The right of the counting process versus the contention process ". Wells seemed to take offense, while he got a durogatory and accusatory tone which he wasn't to stop, " Deny the rights of the voters "!
WELLS IS A PARTISAN DIRTYcRAT IN JUDGE'S ROBES!!!
Harding and Pariente then ganged up on Klock. Harding, " Haven't the local counting boards followed the statute "? Upon hearing Klocks answer of, " If the Secretary has discretion like Judge Lewis ruled, her discretion must be upheld ", Pariente accused, " She didn't really exercise her discretion ". If it was not obvious that this court is biased beyond belief, let me just say it looked like a KANGAROO RAT COURT to me!
Klock tried to offer some oral arguement in the partisan Democrat environment of rancor, " A manual recount done solely on the reason of voter error is not allowed in the statute ". He tried to point out before they interrupted him, " They finished the manual recount in Volusia County within the time frame ", and, " The candidate or the county can ask for a manual recount, not the voter ". Anstead angrily argued to Klock that the deadline, " discriminates between large and small counties ". Klock tried to use an example anyone who went to high school could understand, " You can start your term paper the night before it is do, but you have little chance to finish it ".
Quince, Wells and Harding did the partisan Democrat trio once again. Quince, " Once the certification is done there can be a contest ", then Wells continued the group thought, " Wait and see, when the manual counts have been completed ". Harding, finished, " Even though the voter has not followed instructions, his vote should be counted ".
KANGAROO COURT!
Klock could only give them logic in exchange for their emotion, " The counts could go on and they may become material in a contest in the future ".
Michael Carvin, attorney for Bush-Cheney 2000 tried not to be intimidated by the court's obvious vicious partisan Democrat bias and began, " You must keep to the timeline so that any contest can be fully " explored. Pariente began the RAT ATTACK with a saccastic, " There is no uniformity within the state ", while Carvin continued to counter with reason instead of emotion, " If we continue to delay the process, the contests can not go on ". He opined to deaf ears, " We have only looked at a selective subset of the counties ", and we should, " apply the same standards throughout all 67 counties ". Pariente parried with a stern rhetorical question, stated with a voice that said her was irritated at any insinuation which pointed toward Democrat shinanigans, " What part of the process is flawed "? Carvin again responded with pure fact expressed as conjecture, " We think the manual recounts are subject to mischief. We have returns from 67 counties sitting in the Secretary's office ".
WE ARE BEARING WITNESS TO THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THIRD WORLD STATUS. I believe this is right where the one world government socialist Democrats want us!
Quince kept pushing an example where half the ballots were disallowed because they were not punched all the way through, like this was somehow applicable to the smaller numbers in the four Florida Democrat counties?
Next it was Bush-Cheney 2000 lawyer Barry Richard's turn to RUN THE GAUNTLET OF THE FLORIDA SUPREME KANGAROO COURT, with Quince again the designated Goremaster. Richard may a judicial point that we must not, " read a statute that says MAY as MUST ", and that is a, " clearly erroneous standard ". He continued, " The counts must stop unless the Secretary determines there is a rational reason to continue ", and, " the legislature has disposed the right to the Secretary of State ".
Quince answered with a question, " How do you square a candidate's request for a recount with the deadline in the statute "? Richard answered simply, " A rational reason to do so ". He continued to assault the KANGAROO RATS with, " The appealants have not given a reason to find what the Secretary has done as erroneous ". He addressed the KANGAROO COURT'S OWN MISLEADING REMARKS with, " The only reason the absentee ballots are allowed to be turned in later is because it is mandated by the federal goverment ".
Harold Mardenborough, billed as an attorney for a Republican voter, was the last Bush supporter/defender to appear, in a protracted session which was by my count almost thiry minutes shorter than that allowed for the DIRTYcRATS. He began, " The rights of the voters is not what this is all about. This is about a scheme to use the statutes to steal the election ". He ignored the partisan so-called judges and firmly finished, " The state provides for both a contest and a protest provision. You are being asked to ignore the seven day rule ".
THE RATS GAVE THE GORE TEAM AN EXTRA HALF HOUR SHOT AT REBUTTAL THROUGH THE GUISE OF STOPPING THREE MINUTES EARLY?
The Harding, Hancock Boies trio attacked the GOP position, even before the court officially ruled in their boy Al Gore's favor. Harding began, " Where do we find the time limit "? Hancock joined, " The county should be given every opportunity ". Knowing the KANGAROO RAT COURT WAS IN THE GORE'S POCKET, Hancock ventured and obvious renigging of Gore's unofficial proposal to count the whole of Florida with, " The request should have to be timely to be considered ".
SHEESH, WHAT A RAT PACK THESE ROBED RODENTS REALLY ARE! HOW MUCH EXTRA TIME ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE THE GORE GROUP?
Boies offered direction to his court, " When there is a deadline and there is a contest, you must issue a stay not to declare the electors ".
WHY ARE THEY LETTING THE RATS GO ON AND ON AND ON? My timing shows that the Gore forces got one hour and thirty minutes and the Bush lawyers got only one hour?
On Fox News, Neil Cavuto observed, " The Bush attornies were badgered so much more than the Gore attornies ".
On MSNBC, Gregg Jarret even had to admit, " The four justices asked tough questions of the Bush lawyers. Anstead, Pariente, Harding and Wells; they asked a lot tougher questions of the Republicans ".
There are two opinions other than mine that the court was slanted against the GOP!
The court never once addressed the issue of the legality of the recounts, so we must assume they think they are legal and only the timing has to be adjusted. There is no doubt that this kangaroo court will be ruling in favor of the DIRTYcRAT DIRTBAG ELECTION THIEVES. My prediction is that the Congress of the United States will be electing Governor George W. Bush as President, which is exactly what the DIRTYcRATS want, if they can't have Al Gore. This way they can say the partisan Republican Congress elected Bush and he will be left to pick up the ashes of our economy!
