When Art said... <<Justice Scalia said is important: Don't count the remaining votes, as that could adversely impact the person we think will win.>> He was way off base. And yes, dare I say, uninformed. I will refrain from the OT Political stuff. I wanted to point that out. I should have refrained from the personal attack. Art, sorry for being an ass, but I do think you should read what was actually written rather than trust someone else to tell you what was said. Drew

I can accept that Bush has a "probability of success" in this case. However, to get the stay, he also needed to show "irreparable harm." This is a lot harder to see. Letting the count proceed would not have prevented the disregarding the count if the law should require that. The embarrassment or controversy that would ensue IF the count indicated that Gore had outpolled Bush but that some of the votes legally couldn't be included in the count determining the election doesn't add up to irreparable harm in my book. Certainly not when compared to the harm to Gore by refusing to allow counting to continue during the only time when a count is possible. Even were the court to rule in Gore's favor on Monday (a very remote possibility), it will likely then be too late to get the count finished. Charlie
