In my mind this is the most important case the US SUPREME court has heard since Roe vs Wade. In that mix of the court we have judges who tend to wards judicial activism and those who are strict constitutionalists. The task they have is very grim indeed and I do not envy their task. I hope that they do not shrink from their duty. What we have here is the case of Al Gore who feels that he has the right to change the election laws of Florida and he makes a powerful argument for that right. On the other hand you have GW who believes that he won the election and that lawyers are attempting to steal that victory and he makes a powerful case. Actually I heard the press call him George Bush the president elect. That they need time for the clerks to dig up all past precedents is critical. IF they shrink from this duty than they lose all respect from myself and the people they are charged to serve. This has unfortunately become a legal matter beyond the so-called will of some people vs the will of others and it must be resolved. The buck stops there

The reason I hear is that Renquist, Scalia, Thomas and possibly O'Connor are trying to convince Kennedy that the democratic SC in FL is Clintonized and that there is only one way to rule. They figured they would wait until next friday, because the liberals in the court are continually taking a recount to see if it is even a possibility that others are disagreeing with them. The conservative group know that Ginsburg, Breyer, the other guy (forgot his name) and possibly Souter are considered liberally brainwashed and therefore it will take them awhile (to be deprogrammed in order to recognize the fact that others did decide that Bush has a valid point) to be able to hear the case. Hope this helps.
