If the usual rules about discretionary acts and the standard on appeal to reverse them were applied, there is no doubt that the Secretary of State's actions would be upheld. No way that the record shows an abuse of discretion. The Supremes may focus on the change the line of scrimmage after the fact aspect.... JMO off to fight for truth and justice now....

MadDog, There can be no rational reason why the Supremes decided to hear the case. No matter what the High Court decides, either the Bush or Gore camp will immediately begin a media blitz to sway the court of public opinion to either negate or reaffirm the Court's decision. It's a no win situation with no element of finality. I would also like to bring up the subject of an accurate hand count. The most troubling element of the hand count is not the issue involving the chads (either hanging, penetrated or dimpled). It's the concept of accepting a manual recount in a select and skewed population base and extrapolating those results into reflecting the "intent" and "will" of the People. In my humble opinion, accepting a Florida manual recount in select, heavily Democratic counties, without a manual recount involving the entire state of Florida, is nothing short of a text book case of voter fraud legitimized by our legal system. The recount of New Mexico included the entire state and did not involve manual recounts of questionable ballots in selective counties favoring a certain political party. Regards,
