Cosmo, You don't really have to get there at all--I find that line of reasoning over the top at this point, even, shall I say, "outre." My thesis is that the idea that a 4-3 decision by Democrat appointees (who would appear to have trouble passing a standard constitutional law course) will determine who takes the mantle of authority from Clinton is beyond the pale. The U.S. Supreme Court, having been now openly dissed by the 4 dwarves (down from Seven Dwarves--see, some of these guys actually still think), only needs to look at the Florida Court Chief Justice's dissent to write its second vacating order, and this time without "making nice" to the 4 incorrigibles. Look for a statement to the effect of "you dolts still don't understand the separation of powers and checks and balances, do you?" But I still put forward the proposition that an Algore presidency would combine the ineffectiveness and stupidity of the Carter years with the moral stain of the Nixon years (hokay, the Clinton years, as well) and turn the Democrats out to pasture for a generation. In that sense it might not be such a bad thing, sort of an emetic. In the short term it would also tank the market, which it will no doubt continue to do on Monday, but hey, no one said freedom didn't have a cost. Cosmo, when I said it would get ugly and ruin political lives, I simply meant I wouldn't want to be a Republican state senator or Jeb Bush if the legislature has to print out its own set of electors; in fact, I'd be polishing up my resume or studying for the bar exam in some other state. I don't think you'd see anything beyond that, imho. Night all.
