The SC did not absorb the time. Gore did that by continually arguing his points and, quite frankly, not making them very clear. Most people would've supported Gore at the start if he said 4 things: 1. a full state recount (took him a week to ask for that) 2. a standard of hand recounting that is consistent across counties (he chose to have his lieutenants alter the counting methods on a county by county basis, which hurt him in his court battles) 3. Dimpled chads were not clear intentions (as they clearly are not) 4. asked the private citizens to drop the absentee ballot suits He didn't. He fought a multi-front legal battle and dragged himself and the system through the mud. The SC was simply the final arbiter. You can't fault them for the time frame. They had to stop the recount. What is the point of recounting if the recount is then overturned as inconsistent a day later? It is a waste of time, effort and money. Don't blame the SC for Al Gore's legal teams' problems.
