Tigerpaw, you had better go short the market from now on. The career criminal, Al Gore Jr., is going to steal this thing. We are going directly into the dumper. he deserves what he is going to get. at least after this episode the Democrats will fall off the map for at least several years. btw, the dimpled chad is now being used in at least one county, in direct violation of a rule set by the democrats in 1990. so much for justice. tp

As expected, the Florida Political-hack court ruled unanimously in favor of Gore. In the course of the ruling they start out by admitting that they feel no compelling urge to follow the law. They state "the will of the people, not a hyper-technical reliance upon statutory provisions should be our guiding principle". The proceed to substitute their own dates for those of the legislature, and proceed to substitute their own discretion for the discretion of the executive branch, thus neatly violating all constitutional precepts where only the the legislative branch can create laws and only the executive branch can apply them; in Florida the Supreme Court can create laws from nothing, and can exercise its own discretion in applying them. As I have said previously, nothing good can come from the US Supreme Court overruling the Florida Court, so they should just let this bad decision stand. I'm glad I don't live in Florida where the Supreme-Political-Hack court has absolute power and isn't bound by normal separation of powers or by precedent. Carl
