Excellent distillation.

Two other points:

1) the US Supreme Court is held in greater esteem after the Bush v. Gore decision than precedent - confounding the partisan Dem critics.

2) The result was the same. George Bush would have been elected President even if the real Supremes had not reigned in the partisan Dem and fully recalcitrant Fl 'supreme' court - a collection of political hacks not usually exposed to daylight, for good reason, they wilt when exposed. The rogue Fl court threw out all previous precedent with reckless abandon, overturning the FL trial courts that actually followed the law. The Fl 'supremes' made it up as they went along and that's why they are held in virtually universal disrepute today.

It is instructive to note that the real Supremes did not change the outcome - had the real Supremes had not acted the FL legislature and Governor would also have just as effectively vacated the the decision of the rogue Fl court as the Supremes did - sending the Bush slate of electors to DC. Congress would have seated the Bush slate and the electors would have sealed the Bush win.

Addendum:

National heroine Katherine Harris is going to be elected to Congress - virtually by acclamation;

and Governor Bush will win re-election by 20-40% over failed ex-AG "Jethrine" Reno. That deaf, dumb and blind mule is toast.
