Perhaps something happened, but the judge of record has no jurisdiction here. Only the SCOTUS is the court of record. when it comes to states being part of the proceedings. We saw this when GWB stole the election from Al Gore.

Yeah and it's off topic anyways.

The Third Man - while constitutionally you are correct, since 1978 this matter has been specifically changed through an initial Congressional action and tacit approval of the Court itself.

While its in the last bit of the page - you may find this enlightening on the matter:

Section 2.

1. When the Democrats demanded a recount, a recount was had. And another. And another. And another.

2. Finally, Florida's Attorney General said enough was enough. Whether you think that was right; whether you think it was politically motivated; that was part of her job and her prerogative.

3. The Gore camp went to the Florida State Supreme Court and they overturned her decision.

4. The Bush Camp then went to the US Supreme Court and they in turn overturned the Florida Court's ruling.

The point is that you can argue that any of those decisions was political or legitimate. What is downright silly is claiming that Bush "stole" the election. It is just as valid to argue that Bush was ahead, the Attorney General was correct in her action, and that Gore attempted to use the State Court to steal the election.

Unless you can actually show impropriety on the part of the Supreme Court, claiming "theft" shows a lack of understanding of how the system works.
