Isn't there some way they can fashion a remedy that both sides could accept? This is what the FL SC tried (and failed) to do. The crux of the Rep argument is that it's not fair to do a partial recount of heavily Democratic areas, counting any dimple as a vote wherever a sympathetic canvassing board is found. The crux of the Dem argument is that there are enough missed votes among the no-vote ballots to raise doubts about the final total in a close election. Both of these positions have merit, IMO. I believe Bush would win a fair manual recount, but even if he didn't, it sure seems like it would be best for the country if the presidency were decided by such a count and not legal technicalities. I'm tempted to write an open letter to Scalia (whom I greatly admire) but I don't know where to send it.
