Stop right there: Michigan attorney general sues to stop recount

Michigan attorney general Bill Schuette is surely going to catch heat for this - criticism that he's strictly acting out of partisan concern because he's a Republican. And yes, Schuette is a very partisan Republican and has been one for a long time. And oh yes, he would certainly like to be our next governor. But no matter who he is, his legal argument is awfully solid that there is no valid reason for a recount of the presidential race in Michigan. It would be extremely time-consuming and expensive - and yes, the state would bear a huge share of the cost - and it's not going to change a damn thing. Plus, the party who demanded it can hardly claim to be a seriously aggrieved party.
