Ken your side is counting on the faulty perception of a collective. This is your way to continue your pattern of extortion. I dont disagree with what your saying, but I remind you that saying it does not make it true or right. You should spend your time thinking about becoming a positive force rather than a coercive one. With every post you are telegraphing your sides plan, and with every post that plan is rebutted. Your side is in denial of the statistics concerning the body politic. This emboldens your side to cling to the tactics which have brought you this far. They will fail Ken, because they are corrupt & faulty on face value. You guys have grown so accustomed to lying or spinning scenarios to your advantage you have effectively forgot that the inertia of your numbers. Polling 23% of the electorate but acting as if you have more than that is a flaw of great statistical proportion. There is no time like the present to abandon a folly, especially when the evidence against it's success is clear and right in front of your face. Your in denial, the harder you try the grosser your appeal. You can fool some of the people all the time, but looking over your shoulder should tell you, that the sum of your some, is just not good enough.

To complete your thought with fairness, (which I'm sure you meant to do but maybe ran out of time) many millions believe exactly the opposite: that the USSC had little choice but to rein in a FSC that was ignoring the proffered, face-saving previous SC ruling without addressing the legal problem, and instead broadened the same action that had landed them in trouble the first time. How else could it be viewed but as a slap in the superior court's face and thus an act against the highest court in the land? Many millions saw a chaotic landscape of vote counters looking desperately toward their state SC for more guidance in carrying out this bizarre assignment and getting none, but trying -- most in good faith-- to set acceptable standards to carry out the new order with no hope of doing so. Millions saw a strangely biased acceptance of ballots which had been culled from a different pool (Dade)by this Court which seems to have lost any sense of what is not just legally sound, but in the best interests of the country. Many millions believe that Bush won this election fairly and that all else is merely the desperate gamble of a desperate man to obtain a different outcome. ANd many millions probably don't care, although they might when they get their mutual fund statements. While I do not believe the USSC is immune from ideological bias (witness Breyer's telling use of the word "we" referring to the Gore side), I believe that together they offer our best chance to protect the order of our land. All below, on both sides, have embarrassed, tainted, and ridden roughshod over patriotism and common sense for the sake of self-interest. One has only to skim the thousands of out-of-control thought processes on this thread to see the level to which this has dragged us. N one will ever win this election; no one will ever have consensual legitimacy.
