I agree with you to a certain extent that it is important that people do what they think is right and that they not be influenced by externalities such as polls, especially when it comes to the legislative and executive branches. But in the legal branch I think that a judge's sense of justice must be governed by legal principles as well as the facts of a specific case. Furthermore they must consider the ramifications of their decision on future cases. In the ideal they represent pure logic and fairness detached from the politics of the moment. As far as your analysis of the impact of the earlier rulings on Harris I quite agree, and I believe I suggested this earlier. If Gore had allowed the initial recount to be certified and then filed a contest much less time would have been wasted, and there would be a reasonable chance that the FSC would have ordered a full, statewide manual recount, and that such an order would have stood up in the USSC. I also think that the decision in Broward to start counting dimples extremely liberally also hurt the Gore effort as it makes it clear that there are no standards and that manual recounts under such conditions may violate the Equal Protection clause.
