Karen you're right, those justices are an inspiration. They've obviously done their homework, and they're asking all the tough questions, of both sides.

One thing that's obvious from watching them work is that they are keenly aware that, after Gore and Bush are long gone from Florida, the justices and the state are the ones who are going to have to live with the precedents that are set in this case, and I have a feeling that they are considering very carefully what the consequences will be on future, non-presidential elections as well as presidential ones.

One of the Republican side's lawyers was quoted as saying that attorneys like it when the justices ask lots of questions, because it helps them get more information across. For one thing, I would imagine that they like being able to address the concerns that the justices have on their minds.
