"All of this is unfair and unacceptable," Baker said. "It is not fair
to change the election laws of Florida by judicial fiat after the
election has been held. It is not fair to change the rules and
standards governing the counting or recounting of votes after it
appears that one side has concluded that is the only way to get
the votes it needs. It is simply not fair, ladies and gentlemen, to
change the rules either in the middle of the game, or after the
game has been played.
"Therefore," Baker concluded after a litany of whining that only
a Texan could make sound intimidating, "we intend to examine
and consider whatever remedies we may have to correct this
unjust result."
