No actually, quite different. The 7 FSC justices were not campaign operatives for one of the candidates. Harris was. The 7 FSC judges had to decide a case presented to them by litigants -- they did not go out of their way to exercise authority. Harris did everything in her power to interfere with the local process of organizing and conducting manual recounts provided for by law and asked for in a timely fashion under circumstances where they were clearly warranted, in order that they not meet a deadline which she had the discretion to ignore, but made clear she would not. Her conduct set the tone for what was to follow. As a result, the man who finished second in the national vote, and from all accounts (except the official account doctored by Harris, a law and order conservative trial judge who applied the wrong legal standard and refused to look at the best evidence presented to him, and the 5 conservative justices of the US Supreme Court) finished second in the Florida vote, somehow won the White House. Where I come from, we call it white collar stealing. And we won't forget it, ever.
