Nothing in here I didn't already know... and quite a bit not in here that I do. :) Try a little harder to "educate" me next time.... Re: "Critics claim" >>> The most cogent criticisms are contained in the Court's minority dissenting opinions... Excerpted from your post: "...No doubt the ultimate “correctness” of the Court’s decision will be debated for years to come. The case is complicated and raises many difficult questions of law, of fact and of politics." "... Even defenders of the decision in Bush v. Gore must admit that the remedy adopted by the Court is the weakest link of the decision." >>> No kidding.... "... Finally, the prediction that the decision would undermine the legitimacy of the Bush administration and the Court itself turned out to be wishful thinking on behalf of the critics." >>> Irrelevant to any consideration of judicial appropriateness of the action. Let's not muddy up legal arguments with "ends justify the means" considerations. "... The law is not an exact science and so reasonable minds may differ over whether the case was correctly decided." >>> Yep. "... However, the charge that the decision was indefensible is indefensible itself." >>> I don't think many are claiming the decision was totally 'indefensible', however "weak", "poorly reasoned", "destructive to the Court", "partisan appearing" and "an unnecessary preemptive interference into a political process to correct imagined harms which could just as easily have been corrected at a later stage in the political process by court action - if such action was warranted" are descriptive phrases that come easily to mind.
