because the council was going to put power back in Roslin's hands, and that's unacceptable to Tigh.
*nods nods* Because Tigh's pissed at Roslin for being what turns Lee away from Adama, because Roslin stuck her hands in miltary ops, possibly because Roslin is using religion against the standard rules of their society (hypoth on my part, not justified by anything we've seen thus far) but most importantly because Roslin caused Adama's shooting by sending away the Raider.
So "going back and discussing where we go from here" with the Council would not fix any of those things, because they're going to support Roslin.
Now, back to Baltar.
(a) we don't have much evidence that the people on the show have noticed
I think we have at least some. Tigh himself saw this repeatedly in the ep with Ms Godfrey. Also - I think most everyone in the command structure knows that Roslin dumped Gray as VP for Giaus strictly on the popularity vote. Above all else, he has yet to show himself as a leader worthy of respect.
(b) he's still the vice president.
Who is crazy, who is not a leader, who was hand-picked by Roslin, who was removed from command because of the danger she represented to Galactica's operations and to the fleet. Even if it is legally the correct thing to do, I have a hard time getting even Lee to think that putting Giaus in charge would be the right thing to do. (And this is Lee without being pissed at Giaus for the other thing.)
(Obviously, YMMV, and I'm cool with that.)
You raise very good questions about what Tigh's future plans are - in fact, they would be pretty damn good questions for Adama, too. But Lee doesn't raise those questions, or those objections. Because, imo, he's not thinking about those questions, he's just reacting, and assigning motivations without collecting data.
(And yeah, I'd be pretty pissed off, too. Again, understandable, but not like Lee to run emotional for this long.)
OTOH, the point made earlier about the significance of Dee's reaction ("he's hitting the bottle *a lot*") and about Doc Cottle are good points, which show that some people (on the show) who are thinking do support what Lee's doing.
