complex USSC reversal ruling, requests FL clarification, but NO MORE RECOUNTS

essentially says cannot continue hand recounts
says time has run out
tells FLSC they screwed up ordering recount
they violated the authority of FL Legislature

strange angles involved
USSC cut off the recounts
no practical method to conduct recount
AND RECOUNTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED OR TESTED
but USSC maintains Florida has right to recount

this gives Bush clear cover for claiming election

Chief Rheinquist joined the majority
very fractured court on various planks on the ruling
splintered ruling in totality
gonna be the subject of extensive study

Rheinquist emphasized the differences among counties on standard
thus it had to be discontinued on equal protection violations
