BTW - to tie the two threads together - it is tantalizing to speculate what a 4/4 Court would mean. Again, I know you think the Court pulled the EP issue out of no where but it was legally sound - it was the premature review of the state's rights case that was not

But and in any event, let's suppose this time there is a set standard for a hand recount so the EP issue is out of the door. What can the Court do then

I think you and I should go to London on election day and take a slow boat (the Queen Mary 2 maybe

) back.
