The SC obviously found the arguments of "irreparable harm" from W's flacks persuasive. This is my favorite:

``These ballots have degraded to the point that they are not the same
ballots that were counted and recounted on Nov. 7 and 8, 2000,'' the
Bush team said in Tallahassee, where the Miami-Dade votes were under
review. ``The `evidence' is not sufficiently trustworthy for any election,
and certainly not for the election of the president of the United States.'' http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/politics/AP-Recount-Undervote.html

Amazing how quickly bitrot allegedly sets in, when it threatens W's 150 vote lead. Must be the Florida climate.

Offhand, it looks like they're going for the W line of delaying looking at the ballots until it's too late. It'll be interesting to here the blather they wrap that up in. Personally, I hope they let "the best man for the job" write it up. Legitimacy is as legitimacy does, as somebody might say.

Cheers, Dan.
