And just what is it in the supposedly (i.e., in the view of the majority,
or perhaps just the Rehnquist/Scalia/Thomas troika, since, after all, the
per curiam opinion does not state in terms what Mark opines above)
ultra-authoritative bare text of Florida election law that indicates
clearly the legislature's overriding intent to bring even election
contests to a halt by December 12?  Or is the U.S. Supreme Court exempt
from the supposed Article II need to defer to plain legislative text, so
that it can "establish" legislative intent independent of statutory
language?
