To complete your thought with fairness, (which I'm sure you meant to do but maybe ran out of time) many millions believe exactly the opposite: that the USSC had little choice but to rein in a FSC that was ignoring the proffered, face-saving previous SC ruling without addressing the legal problem, and instead broadened the same action that had landed them in trouble the first time. How else could it be viewed but as a slap in the superior court's face and thus an act against the highest court in the land? Many millions saw a chaotic landscape of vote counters looking desperately toward their state SC for more guidance in carrying out this bizarre assignment and getting none, but trying -- most in good faith-- to set acceptable standards to carry out the new order with no hope of doing so. Millions saw a strangely biased acceptance of ballots which had been culled from a different pool (Dade)by this Court which seems to have lost any sense of what is not just legally sound, but in the best interests of the country. Many millions believe that Bush won this election fairly and that all else is merely the desperate gamble of a desperate man to obtain a different outcome. ANd many millions probably don't care, although they might when they get their mutual fund statements. While I do not believe the USSC is immune from ideological bias (witness Breyer's telling use of the word "we" referring to the Gore side), I believe that together they offer our best chance to protect the order of our land. All below, on both sides, have embarrassed, tainted, and ridden roughshod over patriotism and common sense for the sake of self-interest. One has only to skim the thousands of out-of-control thought processes on this thread to see the level to which this has dragged us. N one will ever win this election; no one will ever have consensual legitimacy.
