Thank you doods! All those buys I made in the afterhours market Friday gonna pay off! Geez, some of them were more than 10% down from the closing price . . . . I know this comment will draw some fire but quite honestly, I don't give a rat's ass who wins and never did - they're both a pair of empty suits - that is, unless the market doesn't like it . . . . hahahahah

... they have now taken on a partisan position... and a hypocritical position at that... since those judges are conservative, they have always argued in favor of returning the power to the States and away from the Federal government... in this case, they have stepped in and acted just like the 'big brother' they claim to disdain philosophically... clearly, that was a partisan decision... of course, the same could be said for the Florida Supreme Court as well, I suppose... so, how does one reconcile this turn of events? Easy... it's very simple... it's back to partisan politics as usual and the supreme judiciary branch of our government has taken themselves down many notches into the cess pool of partisanship... shame on them... okay, enough of this political crap, now let's get back to the markets... up on Monday.... Yippee!!!!! Standing Ovation !! now... given your eloquence, any idea as for the direction of the markets ? (gg) Message 14984519 From Judge Stevensons --dissenting-- The majority has acted unwisely. Time does not permit a full discussion of the merits. It is clear, however, that a stay should not be granted unless an applicant makes a substantial showing of a likelihood of irreparable harm. In this case, applicants have failed to carry that heavy burden. Counting every legally cast vote cannot constitute irreparable harm. On the other hand, there is a danger that a stay may cause irreparable harm to the respondents— and, more importantly, the public at large— because of the risk that "the entry of the stay would be tantamount to a decision on the merits in favor of the applicants."

I agree with you 100%. I have lost any respect I may have had for the supreme court justices. I did not think that the recounting could possibly be completed by December 12, so that decision seemed silly to me. But the US Supreme court decision to stop the recount before they hear the arguments related to that case seems to me to be case where they have decided the case before hearing it, to the detriment to the entire country. I would think that such a decision is not defensible and the worst legal decision made in the the entire proccess. So you are right the law means nothing it is all partisan politic- A very sad day in American History. The sad thing about all of this is that the process has not brought anything but shame upon all the participants in this process. Hard to point out anyone who will come out of this unscathed. Eventually they will count the undervotes and it will turn out that Gore would have prevailed, and those majority supreme court justices will be ridiculed for the rest of their lives. Too Bad. I guess we can expect a lot more rioting this summer.
