I don't deny your point on how the US SC will rule...since they essentially have ruled on this issue.

My question was purely hypothetical...it really didn't even have to be directed towards this issue.

The opinions on this thread with respect to the FL courts seemed to vary according to whether the court ruled for one candidate or the other...and thread members' opinions changed when the same court ruled for Gore in one case and then for Bush in another.

WRT the US SC, would most people consistently respect that court's right to be the final authority, even when they rule for the "other" side?

You may find that a "duh" type of question, but the reality is that when the answer to that question starts to tend towards the "NO" side, then we will indeed have a problem.
