It was 7-2 to essentially vacate the FLSC ruling. To say reverse the ruling, might be an overstatement. Nevertheless, 7-2 saw constitutional problems that at the very least would have resulted in a vacating of the opinion with a remand.

In this case 5-4 saw no effective remedy.

Welcome to democracy.

Two interesting facts about judge Scalia:

1. One of his sons is an attorney employed by the same law firm that Olsen works with ( Bush's attorney). I also believe his other son works for the other Bush firm.

2. Last March Scalia was quoted by a New York Newspaper ( times or News) as saying that he wanted to be the next Chief justice when Renquist retires next year. If Bush had gotten defeated he would retire cause that would make his appointment as Chief justice impossible.

Like I said earlier..........he was installed not elected.

The Fla vote was ruled unconstitutional 7-2. It's right in the document.
