Are you really a lawyer or an aspiring one?

Second point, what is the irreparable harm to Bush? Irreparable harm usually refers to things like death penalty cases where am innocent person will be dead if the execution is stayed pending judicial review.

How about a slander that, while not being able to disprove, the slanderer cannot prove? A person's reputation can be impugned and the lack of proof of the falsehood prevents restoration of the repuation. Your example is the most simplistic, surely a lawyer can think deeper than that.

Bush's brief isn't due until this afternoon, so what the hell did the majority base their opinion on that Bush was likely to prevail on the merits? There is no way in hell that those justices know what Bush will argue and what Gore will counter.

They are aware of the facts of this case.
