It was interesting for me to see so many of my "random" thoughts appear in the dissents at both the US and Federal levels. It was unfortunate (in my opinion) that they were in the dissent and not the majority. LOL In my opinion it would have been much better for everyone's opinion of the courts if the final blow to Gore had come from the Democrat Florida Court, or if the final blow to Bush had come from the Republican USSC.

As I said about this latest outcome, in my opinion the Florida decision was not a good decision from a legal standpoint, and there were certainly some equal protection questions. Nevertheless the questions were primarily state law questions and the FSC has the right to interpret them in "unusual" ways if they choose to. Once they enjoined the counting, I agree that the die was cast. Breyer's suggestion that they remand with instructions to issue some equal standards for counting would have been fine with me, and probably the best that could be hoped for. I think they should have also recounted Broward using those standards, though.
