Well, I saw O'Reilly intervue one Johnathon Lash, a black constitutional scholar, who predicted the court would take the case and why. A highly significant reason, IMO, is that the counting of ballots must be fair and not skewed in favor of one candidate or another. Common Democrats I talk to confirm, it wouldn't be fair if Gore gets his counties hand-counted without the same treatment in Bush territory. All want a state-wide hand-count. The bottom line is that the Supreme Court is unlikely to uphold any interpretation or set of laws that would appear to allow a partisan advantage in counting results. A system that supposedly allows one candidate to garner extra advantage after canvassing boards rule as they might, will be struck down as per long-standing principles of fairness. Dan B
