Marbury v. Madison was the first thing we studied in Constitutional Law. Maybe it was because my law professor was Walker Percy's brother, a man who was skeptical of government intentions. But I think it was because the history surrounding it showed that the Supreme Court really did not have a way to enforce its orders and had to pick its way carefully at the beginning. Now it is one of the most respected, if not THE most respected, institutions of our society. A recent poll showed that 60 percent of people would trust the US Supreme Court to resolve the election, 20 percent would trust the US Congress, and less than 10 would trust the Florida Supreme Court, while a whopping 7 percent would trust the Florida Legislature.

I wonder if the Supreme Court rules against Gore, will HE accept it?
