It seems that every court that has heard any part of this dispute between Bush and Gore has done the right thing, except for the Florida Supreme Court. A stay by the majority of the US Supreme Court in these circumstances is a strong indication that that majority is prepared to reverse the Florida Supreme Court. I am personally surprised that they did so, even though I do feel the Florida Supreme Court ignored Federal Law and the Constitution. I fully expected the count to go on while the US Supremes were considering the case.

The one thing I would like to say about this process is that the rule of law is going to prevail. All of the legal maneuvering, while perhaps disgusting to most people, represents one of the basic strengths of our system. We are deciding who is going to be our President according to the rule of law, not by revolution in the streets. It is still entirely uncertain who is going to win, even a month since the vote, but whoever does win will do so because the law says he should. We may agree or disagree upon the result. We may like or dislike the law that is applied. But the winner will be the lawful President of the United States. Like him or not, it will be incumbent upon all of us to accept the result. The next election is in four years. (Anybody for 6 year terms? LOL)
