I can see why you are sad. If the shoe were on the other foot, I might be bellyaching, too. You point out that the USSC's decision was based on party lines, but I would point out that there are two sides to that equation. Could the 4 dissenters be as wrong in my eyes, as the 5 consentors are in your mind?

If the entire Florida SC had affirmed their opinion yesterday, the argument could be made that politics is out of hand. However, their opinion was so weak that the three senior Justices dissented on the exact grounds for which it is in jeopardy at this time.

In the end, those three will be viewed as the most honorable, imho. They chose to apply the Rule of Law over the rule of convenient judicial activism.
