Hmmm. That would seem to be a violation of separation of powers.
The Florida deadline law is very clear. If the Florida Supreme Court wishes to rule on a suit that the Dems bring up then that is their authority, but preventing the Secretary of State from doing her duly appointed job seems to be a violation of separation of powers.
What if Jeb Bush told her to do it? Who wins? The executive authority or the judicial?
Since when did the Florida Supreme Court have executive authority?
They don't. :) What is more interesting is the fact the the Judiciary has no enforcement powers. Jeb Bush can tell them to go screw and there is not a dam thing that they can do about it. <EG> -- --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
