Well, that's certainly the Democrat party line spin isn't it I believe the high court will stand with the legislature. The FLSC had no reason to call for a "stay", and adjudicate the Democrat process in such a partisan way. Further, in two instances the brief filed by the Gore team contained lies. Once when they claimed Texas mandated a manual recount instead of an electronic recount, and a second time when they believed the courts ruled in favor of dimpled ballots in an Illinois case. It's pretty obvious the FLSC simply took the work of Democrat lawyers, instead of conducting their own thoughtful investigation and analysis. Being a conservative, I don't particular like the Supreme court interjecting into a states voting methods. I would have much preferred to see the elected legislature take the issue on. Either way Bush is our next President.

The Florida Supreme Court did not change the rules, rather it interpreted a conflict which existed due to faulty legislation. That's what courts do. And their ruling was an error in timing and judgement also thus forcing a multitude of additional lawsuits which will delay a process that should have been completed long ago. Finally that error will cost Gore any chance he had of overturning the election . Fortunately that Supreme Court was made up of Democrats so the blame can rest there.
