Tom: I agree with Roger on this. What I find incredible is that 2 justices ignored the Constitution and did not find the Florida Supreme Court's ruling illegal. This should have been 9-0. I can see their side with the 5-4 ruling, that they felt a remedy could be found with uniform standard set, but that would seem to be Gore's attorney's fault for not establishing the contest phase much earlier.

I'm going to butt in here with my opinion. I'm not going to generalize and say the whole court acted unfairly, but I am going to say Scalia and Thomas acted unfairly. The wife of Thomas is some sort of Republican fund raiser. He should have recused himself (I think he already has mentally). Also, Scalia's son is an associate for one of the law firms used by Bush. He also should have recused himself. Now, there maybe other personal involvements that I am not aware of that would also warrant recusing, but these are obvious conflicts of interest involving immediate family. And, it makes me angry. Some say O'Connor and Kennedy chose the next President. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but not Scalia and Thomas.
