My ruling on Bush's challenge on the 14th ammendment in the Federal courts: 1) The Fed has no place telling the states what to do. 2) Different machines (with different accuracies) in measuring votes mean that individuals are treated differently, leaving citizens of certain counties at a disadvantage. It's up to the those districts to ensure they tabulate the most accurate vote. Barring that disqualify Florida from the presidential elections. Now that was easy.

Ok, you want to use a different word? How about unethical. It was unethical because Gore knew it would not statistically represent the state vote accurately. Timely? Well, perhaps Gore was timely right out of the box with his 200 person legal swat team. But it remains to be seen if the strategy was smart for their candidate. If Gore and his team weren't so confident about spinning the unethical partisan hand re-count their way. Strategically, they would have been smarter to ask for a full re-count on day one. Asking for it this late in the ballgame, exposes them for the phonies they are.
