>With respect to the state, who wins? Is the legislature - as the US constitution says. Or, has the FL legislature ceded a lot of that to the state judiciary?>

Since when did any legislature ever cede anything to any judiciary. The judges sit on-high and twist and contort the law to mean what they want it to mean i.e. "I know the law says 10 days, but it really meant 20 days!"

Viva Senor Bush!
