thanks for joining us \\
the arguments are done, the arguments that may well decide the presidency \\
of course, that disputed florida recount issue, the u.s. supreme court is weighing what it herd heard today from attorneys for al gore and george w. bush, the issue, whether the supreme court in tallahassee overstepped its bounds when it ordered a hand recount of 42,000 vote throughout the state \\
while both sides presented their oral arguments, protesters on the courthouse steps lot let their voices be heard \\
they waved plaque ards with competing slogans \\
the mood was decidedly more somber inside the courtroom \\
attorneys on the republican side argued that florida's certified results, giving bush the win, should stand \\
they also said the democrats are putting too broad an interpretation on determining the intent of the voters, based on the look of the ballots \\
but justices scalia and souter questioned the bush team's own standardses on that issue \\
it is part of your issue when there is nothing wrong that the machine doesn't count the ballots that it's supposed to count? \\
that's correct \\
detached the chads entirely and the machine has predicted does not count those chads when the instructions are not followed, there is nothing wrong? \\
that's correct, this has been euphemistically referred to ballots where the system created by florida both with respect to the initial tabulation and the preferred system for the automatic recount in both those elections is to submit is it through mechanical, objective scrutiny that the initial count was done, and those are count those were not counted either because there were votes for more than one candidate, which would make them overvotes, i guess they are calling them, or they read as no vote which many people do \\
many people do not vote in the presidential election even though they are voting for other offices \\
as to the yun votes and as to the undervotes in which there is arguably some expression of intent on the the ballot that the machine didn't mick up, the majority of the florida supreme court says you're wrong \\
they interpreted the statute otherwise \\
are you saying here that their interpretation was so far unreasonable in defining legal vote as not to be a judicial act entitled in effect to the presumption of reasonable interpretation under article 2? gore's team has said the vice president will end his contest of florida's election if the court rules against him \\
his attorneys did all they could to convince the justices that the recount is both legal and right \\
justice anthony kennedy questions gore's counsel closely on whether florida's supreme court went too far \\
cot legislature of the state of florida after this election have enatted a statute to change the contest period by truncating it by 19 days? \\
without by without contravening the section which says that there should be no new law for the state of florida? \\
could the florida supreme court have done what the could the florida legislature have done what the florida supreme court did? \\
i think that it would be unusual, i haven't really thought about that request \\
i they they probably could not because that would be a new law under section 5 \\
because it would be a legislative enactment as opposed to a screw decision interpretation of an existing law if fact, it would be a new law under the preclearance juris prudence, wouldn't it? \\
if you go back to the state against japel, when the florida supreme court faced the same question as to whether that seven day period was an iron curtain that came down, the florida supreme court said it was not \\
the florida supreme court said that had you to look as to whether there was substantial compliance nchl that case, three days was found to be substantial compliance \\
that was the situation in which there was telephone notice, which was not adequate for certification \\
it was then followed up if we assume the legislature would run kror contrary to the new law prohibation in the statute, wouldn't the supreme court did it if it does exactly the same thing? \\
what i'm saying, your honor, it wasn't doing exactly the same thing \\
it wasn't passing a new law, it was interpreting the existing law \\
legal challenges over absentee ballots from martin and seminole counties could still change the election outcome \\
lawyers filed written briefs with the florida state supreme court on whether to throw out 25,000 ballots \\
democratic voters are appealing two rulings friday in which circuit court judges found that while republican election supervisors had not acted properly, there was no reason to discard the votes \\
al gore is not a party in the suits \\
florida state lawmakers are also holding election hearings today \\
constitutional experts and members of the public will testify about whether the legislature should choose its own electoral college voters \\
the republican dominated house and senate are holding special sessions to consider the matter \\
republicans say the move is necessary to ensure florida is represented at the electoral college if the legal challenges continue \\
democrats say the move is only to ensure the state goes to bush \\
the full house is likely to vote on it tomorrow \\
but republican senate leadership may delay a vote there until the supreme court \\

The US supreme court is weighing what it heard today from attorneys for al gore and george w. bush the issue whether the supreme court in tallahassee overstepped its bat overstepped its bounds when it ordered a hand recount of forty two thousand votes throughout the state \\
While both sides presented their oral arguments protesters on the courthouse steps let their voices be heard \\

The mood inside the courtroom of course decidedly more deck or a sense summer attorneys on the republican side argued that florida's certified results giving bush the wind should stand \\
And they also said the democrats are putting too broad interpretation undetermined in the intent of the voters based on the look of the ballots but justices scalia and soon or question the bush team's own standards on that issue \\
When a mission does not count those ballots that it's not supposed to for that's absolutely correct justice scalia's detached the chads entirely \\

some french butchers are giving away meat in an attempt to regain public confidence in their products \\
jennifer eccleston explains \\
a bevy of butchers ferry steaming platters of barbecued beef to crowds in a central paris park. it's sane cow day in paris, according to the 200 butchers who organized the free cookout \\
they're hoping locals will cast aside mounting fears in france over bse, the deadly brain wasting disease in cattle, and its human equivalent, variant creutzfeldt jakob disease \\
i said to my husband, david, that it would be good to go the luxembourg gardens and see representatives of the beef producers, and taste good meat \\
and the meat is really good \\
we like it very much \\
when asked if she was afraid of bse, or as it's commonly known, mad cow disease, michele nicolas said it didn't scare her at all music to the ears of today's sponsors \\
the bse panic broke out in france in october when it was revealed that potentially contaminated meat, from a herd in which one bse case had been identified, had been put on sale in supermarkets \\
as a result, stores in paris took beef off the shelves, and it was removed from school menus nationwide \\
today's barbecue hopes to shore up consumer confidence in the troubled beef industry \\
the aim of this operation is, above all, to make consumers understand that we are small butchers, and we work in our shops with beef raised exclusively for meat, and with that kind of beef, there is no problem \\
these are beef that have not eaten animal based feed \\
they eat grains, and not animal feed \\
so, there is no risk \\
france's agriculture ministry announced four new cases of bse in cattle last friday, bringing this year's total to over 120 cases, more than four times the figure for 1999 \\
cases have also been reported in britain, ireland and belgium, and, most recently, in germany \\
european union ministers, reacting to europe wide concerns, last week announced a six month ban on the use of meat and bone meal in all animal fodder \\
it's considered the main route for bse contamination \\

hi \\
thanks for looking in \\
as deadlines loom for electors to be selected in florida, the attention of the nation is focused on washington and the decision still pending from the nine justices of the u.s. supreme court \\
as usual, there's no indication when the high court will issue its ruling, but with the presidency at stake and time running out, many expect a quick decision \\
with more on the supreme court and other election developments, here's jonathan aiken \\
still no decision from the u.s. supreme court in the case of bush vs. gore \\
lawyers for governor george w. bush want the court to strike down a florida supreme court decision that allowed manual recounts of disputed ballots across the state \\
vice president al gore needs those recounts if he is to overcome mr \\
bush's lead in florida \\
if the court decides to stop the recounts, the vice president is effectively out of options and may have to concede the election \\
it's better for the supreme court to intervene, perhaps, and decide the case, than for having this going into congress, where i think this is all child's play compared to what would happen if congress had to vote and elect the next president \\
meanwhile, the republican controlled florida house of representatives is likely to vote tuesday on a resolution approving its own slate of electors to the electoral college, one that will be pledged to governor bush \\
as the debate continued in tallahassee, state lawmakers were waiting for the supreme court in washington \\
hopefully, though, they're going to give us a path to finality \\
if they do, then i think all of us will be very, very glad \\
let's count every vote. that's the kind of finality we need in the state of florida \\
but unfortunately, i don't have great hope for that as far as the legislative path \\
florida's state senate may take up the issue wednesday \\
also in tallahassee, the florida supreme court has yet to rule on appeals of two cases involving absentee ballots \\
the state justices are being asked to overturn lower court rulings that allow up to 25,000 absentee ballots be included in the state count, those ballots from seminole and martin counties \\
democrats say republican officials had access to ballot applications and illegally completed missing voter information on them \\
tuesday is also the day states certify their election results, and the slates of electors who will meet and cost ballots when the electoral college meets on the electors can be certified after tuesday, but they'll be open to challenge by the congress if the election is still in dispute \\
normally, the candidate who wins the popular vote in a state wins the vote of the electors, though some states let electors vote their conscience \\
the next date certain in this contest, saturday, january that's when congress meets to validate the decision of the electoral college, or challenge the results and begin a procedure whereby the lawmakers themselves could choose the next president of the united states \\
jonathan aiken for cnn, washington \\
as the electoral count currently stands, gore has 267, bush, 246 \\
270 are needed to win the white house \\
that means the candidate who wins florida's 25 electoral votes will gain enough to become president \\
now a quick recap of the florida election developments \\
a decision could come at any time from the u.s. supreme court on those disputed florida ballots \\
it's december the day federal law says states must pick presidential electors \\
any electors selected after today are subject to congressional challenge \\
the florida house is poised to name electors loyal to bush \\
the senate could follow suit tomorrow \\
stay glued to headline news for continuing coverage of the florida recount and election \\

Hi thanks for looking in the deadline looms for electors to be selected in florida and of course the nation's attention is focused on one north of florida on washington and a decision still pending from the nine US supreme court justices as usual there's no indication at all when the high court might issue his ruling \\
But with the presidency at stake in time running out many expect a quick decision \\
Still no decision from the US supreme court in the case of bush versus gore lawyers for governor george w. bush want the court to strike down the florida supreme court decision that allowed manual recounts of disputed ballots across the state \\
Vice president al gore needs those recounts if he is to overcome mr. bush's lead in florida \\
And for having this going into congress where then i think i mean i think this is all trials play compared what would happen if congress had to vote and elect the next president \\
Meanwhile the republican controlled florida house of representatives is likely to vote tuesday on a rizzo lucian approving its own slate of electors to the electoral college one that will be played to governor bush as the debate continued in tallahassee state lawmakers were waiting for the supreme court in washington who play though \\
And also in tallahassee the florida supreme court has yet to rule on a peels of two cases involving absentee ballots \\
The state justices are being asked to overturn lower court rulings that allow up to twenty five thousand absentee ballots be included in the state count those ballots from seminole and martin counties \\
Democrats say republican officials had access to ballot applications and illegally completed missing voter information on them \\
Washington as the national electoral count currently stands gore has two hundred sixty seven bush two hundred forty six two hundred seventy or need to win the white house \\
Now a quick recap of the florida election of l. about a decision could come any time from the US supreme court on whether to have a hand recount of those disputed florida ballots \\
The florida house is poised to name electors loyal to george w. bush and the senate could follow suit tomorrow stay glued to headline news for continuing coverage of the florida recount and election too i'll see \\

vice president al gore needs those recounts if he is to overcome mr. bush's lead in florida \\
if the court decides to stop the recounts the vice president is effectively out of options and may have to concede the election \\
it's better for the supreme court to intervene perhaps and decide the case \\
