The recount, as it was being conducted at the time it was stayed, lacked a standard that would have made it constitutional. Therefore, to continue the recount would have been a vain effort, since SCOTUS would not have allowed it to count without a standard adopted in advance. A decision from SCOTUS more quickly than it was delivered is unprecedented. The Florida SC seemed to believe that the Dec. 12 deadline was valid. In the end, Gore and the FLSC made it impossible for him to have an adequate contest period; not Bush or SCOTUS.
