Yes, Dred Scott comes to mind. It will should Boise win his arguments to allow just a part of the uncounted votes to be counted. Boise plainly stated yesterday to Tony Snow on fox that it was the Bush lawyers who argued to count ALL the counties, not him. In a statewide race, Boise defines the need to count "uncounted" votes, then demands that only the portion Gore wants counted ought be counted, because Gore asked, not Bush. Absurd. If agreed to, absurd as the Dred Scott decision, thank-you. The Gore team plainly admits it doesn't want to count votes.
Boise told Russert yesterday he doesn't want to recover legitimate votes from the category called "overvotes," because Gore hadn't asked for those to be counted. Absurd as the Dred Scott decision, if bought. FSC bought it. USSC won't.
FSC added a partial Dade County count to be included- Mainly gore precincts represented. To heck with the rest of the precincts. Still, just counting countwide undervotes as directed instead of them all, BUSH picked up votes. Good for Bush....but it leaves him still with an unfair counting disadvantage in Dade County.
Boise thinks that just. USSC won't.
