... they have now taken on a partisan position... and a hypocritical position at that... since those judges are conservative, they have always argued in favor of returning the power to the States and away from the Federal government... in this case, they have stepped in and acted just like the 'big brother' they claim to disdain philosophically... clearly, that was a partisan decision... of course, the same could be said for the Florida Supreme Court as well, I suppose... so, how does one reconcile this turn of events? Easy... it's very simple... it's back to partisan politics as usual and the supreme judiciary branch of our government has taken themselves down many notches into the cess pool of partisanship... shame on them... okay, enough of this political crap, now let's get back to the markets... up on Monday.... Yippee!!!!!

Standing Ovation !!

now... given your eloquence, any idea as for the direction of the markets ? (gg)

From Judge Stevensons --dissenting--

The majority has acted unwisely.

Time does not permit a full discussion of the merits. It
is clear, however, that a stay should not be granted unless
an applicant makes a substantial showing of a likelihood
of irreparable harm. In this case, applicants have failed to
carry that heavy burden. Counting every legally cast vote
cannot constitute irreparable harm. On the other hand,
there is a danger that a stay may cause irreparable harm
to the respondents— and, more importantly, the public at
large— because of the risk that "the entry of the stay
would be tantamount to a decision on the merits in favor
of the applicants."
