i don't think those 5 judges would have stopped a recount if they weren't going to side with Bush. Clearly, hand recounting the undervote is a "partial recount" and is not permitted under Florida law. My feeling is that they will want to avoid a constitutional crisis as the cost would be too high. That is why I believe FLA Chief Justice Wells voted against the majority opinion. His language tells one that he was concerned. If the crisis scenario was not a worry, I would have bet he would have gone along with the majority. It is basically now come down to avoiding a constitutional mess and they USSC will put in end to it. I don't think it matters what is right at this in the eyes of courts; it has more to do with avoiding a potential mess that would be bad for the country. I will say that Jeb Bush is the one that created this potential problem. Without his interference, there would no problem. My feeling is that the decision will be at least 6 to 3 for Bush. I think the 4 that did not support the halt of recounts may still be of the opinion that FLA SC was wrong but so no point in stopping the recount. 5 are basically guaranteed to rule in favor of Bush, IMHO. I think the market will not change too much from Friday. However, I do believe it will rally ahead of the final decision. It gives the market another reason to rally..possibly push it over Nasdaq 3000. I believe the election is more important that Greenspan or earnings in the short term.
