Reply #46: That's true, but we discussed this last night in another thread

and I posted that I had heard Katrina Of The Nation commenting that he had acted as an advisor to Jeb Bush during the recount controversy. If he's the one who suggested that Jeb nudge the Florida Legislature into stating it would appoint its own slate of electors should a recount give Gore the popular vote, there's no question this would have been unconstitutional. The lawyer who suggested this, had he any Constitutional expertise, would have known this. He also would have known that the gullible public would simply have to hear the threat to believe it. No one would research the issue.

David Bois has a chapter about the 2000 election controversy in his most recent book, and he specifically discusses why that would have been unconstitutional. If Roberts were the one behind this maneuver, shame, shame, shame on him -- as I said last night.
