see- Now I too hate both candidates, but think that the SC opinion will go down in history as the right one..although American history is always 'doctored' but I wont even go there.. sorry.. Not looking to turn it into a discussion since to me its all irrelevant and has been irrelevant since day one since the two candidates are absolute bozos in my opinion- but I for one read the decisions, and felt it was exactly what they should have done..

Fundy, the market is likely to spike up on the election news, but at some point reality will return. We may see a temporary ease of interest rates, but tax cuts and a return to budget deficit will soon turn that around. I have concerns about the economy, no huge crash expected but it just looks weaker.

Fund, you hit the proverbial nail on the head... Instead, they have said that the vote should be counted, but golly gosh, it's too late. Yet of course it was they and they alone who issued the stay that prevented the vote from being counted before it was too late. IMHO, the 7-2 decision is horrendous. What really irks me is that the US Sup Ct could have scheduled oral argument for Saturday afternoon after they ordered the stay. If not Saturday, do it on Sunday! Instead, as we all know, they scheduled argument for 11:00 am on Monday! Then, because they couldn't agree on nearly anything and since most of them wanted to write their own opinion, they took too long to issue a decision. Their tardiness effectively suffocated any potential for the Fla. Sup. Ct to mandate a recount that would have included uniform standards for the manual recounts. Apparently, if one can successfully decipher the opinion, a manual recount with uniform standards would have a decent chance of passing Constitutional muster in the eyes of the US Sup Ct. This is really sad that the highest court in the land issued a decision with a right, but with no means for a remedy. Unfortunately for the Court, I hope that most Americans remember this decision as one where the Court would have been better off by refusing to accept the appeal in the first place. BTW, I, too, have no preference for either one of these candidates. Indeed, had either Bradley or McCain been nominated, I would have gone to one of those two. Instead, I went to Nader, more of an anti-Gore-Bush vote than anything else.
