uh...ever heard of the "common law"?

Of course, but the Florida Supreme's were not ruling on "common law",
but were changing an existing law to suit their political party -- all
of them were appointed by Democrats, and all *except* the Chief
Justice realized they could not do that. Fortunately the Fed Supremes
ruled against them, otherwise they would still be counting votes in
Floriduh.
