Everyone ... I cannot believe that the Supremes decided not to let the ballots be counted. Who would have believed that -- without arguments of any kind -- they would rule? If we count, and there is a good reason to ignore the results, that's OK. If we count later, that's OK too. Why not let the count begin now? Per the laws of the land, anyone can ask for possession of the ballots and make their own count -- unless Congress rules (as in the death of JFK) that the evidence should be sealed for a period of time. If Congress does that, you can checkmark your history books as to how the Presidency was arranged "by fiat of the Trilateral commission". Who are we fooling here? The Supremes can declare whatever they like but you can bet your bottom dollar that those votes will eventually be counted. It is the law of the land. IMHO, Gore already has won the Presidency. He won the majority vote. This entire dispute is based upon whether a particular state whose Governor is the brother of the pretender and whose legistlature is governed by that brother's party should have the power to squeeze injustice from our system. If, after all is said and done, Bush moves into the White House, he will be a "stranger in a strange land" (do a search on that phrase for major info). In Wall Street terms, this is the same as a Gore win. With a Republican Congress, a Democrat in the White House would be paralyzed. After all this, a Bush Presidency will also be paralyzed. Which makes me most happy. Things were going along quite nicely until the battle of the Presidency started making waves. Once it all settles down, we have an even chance of getting back to business as usual. As I have said so many times, I don't care who wins. I just want someone to win fairly. Or, if that is not possible, that the one who wins, keeps his mouth shut and lets the rest of this country move foreward. In moral terms, all this makes my nose itch. In the grand scheme, the laws of our fine country have been perverted in so many ways that they no longer settle in the bowels of our countrymen. Whether this is good or bad, and how many may choose to respond, only time will tell. Craig
