lew, i don't blame the us supreme court. they did what they could with what they had to work with.

* al gore trying to manipulate a win in an extremely unfair manner.
* a fl supreme court that doesn't understand basic fairness or common sense - even when it is slapping it across the face. they believe "count all the votes" means "count only those votes al gore wants to count" (screw the voters!) when called on their piss poor call, they changed the definition to "count all the votes necessary to enable those votes al gore wants counted to be counted" (screw voter AGAIN!) and screw the rest of the state.

the constitutional problem with the fl supreme court's actions crossed party lines - both within and outside the fl supreme court. only the remedy was deeply divided.

al gore lost b/c he tried to manipulate and cherry pick a win. al gore lost b/c the fl supreme court was incapable of designing a plan that was good for VOTERS instead of AL GORE. so much time was wasted trying to manipulate a win that time ran out.

there is no doubt the fl supreme court's "remedies" were patently unfair to the voters of florida.

what is a us supreme court gonna do?

jmho, and i know reasonable people can, and will, disagree on the meaning of this.
