Jim, They are saying that it is being remanded back to the Fla Supreme Court and that standards may be set for recounts. Joel

Bottom Line: Bush Wins - From what was just read, it appears that there is no way to complete a count "consistent with this opinion" within 6 days. Opinion talks about time for judicial review and challenges of "standards" before implementing them. Basically the Court has decided to just let the clock run out on Gore without setting some huge precedent going forward. Basically Gore screwed himself by not "challenging" earlier. "Remanded" is just house-keeping language. L. Tribe just said it is a hollow tip of the hat to the FSC. Sent back to Fla. for them to bury it...key word is "REVERSED". Court specifically says that a recount by Dec. 18 would violate the Fla. Election Code. Says that a recount beyond December 12 violates the Title III Safe-Harbor Provision that was clearly contemplated in the Florida Election Code. Opinion says a recount is not possible under these circumstances. Says uniform standards are not possible.

I don't like it all. Bush goes down as running out the clock. Florida and the country come off as backward for not having standards and using backward methods. It's going to divide us all more then before. I'm now in the camp of the election being a factor until the storm blows away! Greg

USSC: pauper's request tells FLSC they have the right to properly order a recount but they have a Dec12th deadline FLSC blew it, by not creating a workable equitable standard for the recount that abides by equal protection guidelines FLSC consistently avoided establishing a vote standard and thus THEY BLEW IT time is up, case closed, defacto Bush victory if blame is due, put it on FLSC for unprofessionalism / jim

USSC: relegates FLSC decision to a pauper's request tells FLSC they have the right to properly order a recount but they have a Dec12th deadline in accordance to the US Constitution FLSC blew it, by not creating a workable equitable standard for the recount that abides by equal protection guidelines FLSC consistently avoided establishing a vote standard they never ordered their Legislature to clarify this was essential in order to maintain due process and thus THEY BLEW IT time is up, case closed, defacto Bush victory if blame is due, put it on FLSC for unprofessionalism deep resentment within USSC for stopping the recount bitterness directed at Scalia / jim
