The USSC wanted to send a unanimous decision.

They did not reverse FSC because they could not
discern the basis for its ruling.

There is still the possibility of a Federal
question lingering. This was also identified
by Judge Sauls.

Even the Fla. Atty. General recognized the problem
of a two-tier system and the possibility that Florida
could lose out on inclusion of its electoral votes.

At this point, the Florida Supreme Court has bigger
fish to fry than helping Al Gore.

They have issues of credibility and the obligation to
assure that Florida's electoral votes are counted.

Moreover, since the extended deadline was their idea,
I fail to see how they can help Gore on issues like
votes that weren't turned in on time.

I suspect you will see a different kind of FSC ruling
on this go around.
