I really admire people who know how to make a computer sing, and put the world at the fingertips of others, via links. The second amicus brief under 00-836 and 00-837 in your list, above, is the one that I filed in Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board (Bush I) on behalf of the American Civil Rights Union.
That is the ONLY brief in the entire list you posted, which urged the Court to "strike" (or "vacate") and "do nothing else" concerning the first Florida Supreme Court decision. All the other attorneys for both sides urged the Court to "affirm" or "reverse." What the Court did in Bush I was to vacate the lower decision, and did so unanimously.
That is the judicial equivalent of a home run in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded in the seventh game of the World Series. Or, as Al Pachino said in Scent of a Woman, "Hoo-hah."
Thank you for your serious work in pulling this together and making it available on this thread. I wish I had your skills in this.

BTW, Netscape doesn't like this file, and opens it as control characters. If anyone wants to read the brief, Internet Explorer seems to do so just fine.
