Judge Troupis

We're concerned like every... I'm concerned because I've been a lawyer for almost five decades.

The first question you ask is, what's my deadline?

Because if you miss a deadline, gone.

That's legal malpractice at its highest level.

And when you're working for the president of the United States, I figured, well, let's get it right.

So, you know, we analyzed it right away and we determined that our actual date was January the 6th.

Al Gore blew this.

Here's a great example.

The great irony of this is had Al Gore's lawyers done their job in 2000, he probably would have been president.

I'm not making that up.

Down in Florida.

Correct.

And I worked on the recount in Florida.

And part of my team worked on the recount for Gore in Florida.

And they told me right away, look, we blew it.

We said the deadline was the day the electors meet.

The real deadline is January the 6th.

Now, wait a minute.

I'm not making it up.

Two members of the United States Supreme Court, both liberals, wrote a footnote in the Bush v. Gore opinion saying, hey, by the way, you'd have won if you just quoted the right date.
