If they leave it be, they can play ball with SCOTUS, honor the canvassing boards anew, and maybe put Gore and this whole thing to bed. If they pick up a shovel looking for the pony, they've got to get it done in a week - once, of course, they figure out how to do it - or set off a whole new fire in the legislature...
