Now do you agree that Gore's "no comment" on the Seminole case was at the least cowardly? Do you think Bush's lack of a comment on the Seminole County case was cowardly?

12/09 15:00 U.S. Supreme Court Requires Halt to Florida Ballot Recounts By Greg Stohr Washington, Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court required a halt to manual ballot recounts in Florida on a 5-4 vote, issuing an emergency order that shifts the momentum in the presidential election deadlock back to Texas Governor George W. Bush. Acting on a Bush request, the justices stayed the day-old Florida Supreme Court decision that required review of tens of thousands of additional ballots. The high court scheduled arguments for Monday at 11:00 on Bush's appeal of the state court ruling. The decision is a major setback to Vice President Al Gore, who is banking on the recounts to erase Bush's slim lead in the state that will decide the presidential race. In an opinion that accompanied the order, Justice Antonin Scalia said Bush has a ``substantial probability of success'' in his appeal. ``The counting of votes that are of questionable legality does in my view threaten irreparable harm to (Bush), and to the country, by casting a cloud upon what he claims to be the legitimacy of his election,'' Scalia wrote. quote.bloomberg.com
