- Minimalism, from Rhenquist Court was in "full display during the 'Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board' case".
- In "Bush v. Gore" the vote was not unanimous.
- Bush argued that Florida court had violated Article II or the Constitution.
- The recount was voted 4-3 by Florida Supreme Court.
- Six Justices were unwilling to accept Bush's main submission, that FL Supreme court had produced an unacceptable change in Florida State Law.
- Many recounts were done neither formally nor correctly.
- The Court's decision lacked support in precedent or history.
- The recount was halted because the Court thought it clear that the Florida Supreme Court would interpret Florida Law so as to halt the process.
Questions:
- Was November 14th far too early of a deadline?
- Did Florida Supreme Court truly violate Article II of the Constitution?
- How did "Minimalism" in Rhenquist Court originate?
- Did the concept of minimalism greatly affect the outcome of this case?
- How "corrupt" were the recounts?
