You are a schmuck if you believe that -- this was a 5-4 decision, not a 7-2 decision -- you are smoking that voodoo GOP loco-weed if you buy Jim Baker's self-serving spin on this decision. And I would urge you to actually read the four dissents to appreciate just how wrong that spoin is. The 2 justices who agreed that equal protection issues were raised and that all ballots should be reviewed under a single standard vehemently disagreed that there was no time to remedy the problem and continue and complete the recount -- they blistered the majority for how it handled the remand and shut down the recount, both in the stay and in the ultimate decision -- in two of the most scathing dissents I have ever read.

You won the decision -- no need to exagerate what it says.
