Nadine,

These are my feelings about court decisions.

The party that appoints members of the court will tend to appoint judges whose interpretation of the law and other controversial items is similar to their own. (similar philosophies)

So when a court is stacked one way, you get a very partisan decision without any partisan intent.

I don't know enough about the Florida law. In fact, I am clueless, but the fact that a very controversial issue was decided unanimously in favor of Gore leads me to believe that that court is stacked with the kind of judges that believe courts should legislate. That doesn't make it unfair - just not consistent with my own personal philosophy.

I hope we get a more balanced view from the Supreme Court whichever way it goes.
