Florida state law does not and did not prohibit statewide recounts. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/12/2012 01:45:52 PM
SCOTUS ruled that Florida had to follow their own laws, that existed at the time of the election, not change them on the fly.

It only required that the results be certified by a specific date, and the SCOTUS stepped in to declare no recount could be completed by that date. Scalias vote with the majority asserting he and his fellows are clairvoyant and precognitive does not exactly support his supposed belief in limited SCOTUS power.

WTF does "I don’t care what their intent was. I care what it was that they intended" mean? Joel - 11/12/2012 09:03:23 PM 709 Views
Yeah I read that twice to see if that was right *NM* Dark Knight - 11/12/2012 09:36:55 PM 324 Views
Part of me pities Scalias decline, because he could once nimbly and convincly argue black is white. Joel - 12/12/2012 07:09:56 PM 682 Views

The people of WA and CO just decided pot should be legal; think Scalia agrees? Joel - 12/12/2012 07:25:11 PM 680 Views

I am aware of Scalias "logic," and his rejection of it about a year later with Robamacare. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:51:16 PM 684 Views
But you didn't. Dannymac - 13/12/2012 04:06:05 PM 688 Views
Yup, yup; the Constitution is all about majority rule WITH minority rights. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:56:15 PM 638 Views
Your whole rant lacks any logic HyogaRott - 12/12/2012 03:46:34 PM 707 Views
+1 - logic is not his strong suit. *NM* Anonymous2000 - 12/12/2012 04:21:09 PM 280 Views

I was stumped by his phrasing as well A Deathwatch Guard - 12/12/2012 09:31:53 PM 573 Views
But we must go by his words and his understanding of their meaning, without interpretation. Joel - 16/12/2012 01:40:23 PM 659 Views

Sorry you don't like it, but what he said is true. HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 03:11:42 PM 715 Views
Lol. Homophobia is synonymous w/ homonegativism. It's not meant to convey a true phobia *NM* kHz1000 - 13/12/2012 03:28:01 PM 398 Views
Only for people who don't know actually know how to read and understand words. Nice spin though. *NM* HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 05:54:29 PM 276 Views

-phobe : Greek -phobos, adj. derivative of phóbos fear, panic HyogaRott - 13/12/2012 11:32:14 PM 707 Views
Do you have a similar problem with "xenophobia?" Because it's exactly the same thing. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 01:30:24 AM 641 Views
xenophobia is the fear of the alien... WTF are you trying to say? HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 03:03:09 AM 703 Views
No. You are patently, objectively incorrect. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 08:39:00 AM 625 Views
An aside. Stephen - 14/12/2012 01:21:32 PM 703 Views
Don't believe me, ask a Greek it is after all THEIR word. I gave you some extra capitals, happy now? *NM* HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 02:56:09 PM 394 Views

Hmmmm lets see, people misuse a word, perverting its meaning... HyogaRott - 14/12/2012 07:29:11 PM 650 Views
If everyone "misuses" a word, that becomes an acceptable use of it. Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:23 PM 644 Views

and if everryone jumps off a cliff to splatter on the rocks I should just be a good little lemming. HyogaRott - 15/12/2012 07:13:27 AM 579 Views
actually, you have already chosen stupid by pretending the word means something it does not moondog - 15/12/2012 03:34:35 PM 599 Views
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, my friend John would strenuously disagree. HyogaRott - 16/12/2012 06:50:19 AM 718 Views
and you are a small-minded buffoon who can't come up with real arguments so you resort to nitpicking moondog - 17/12/2012 11:48:25 PM 648 Views
Double post. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/12/2012 10:14:50 PM 301 Views
