As for what we dems are looking for in the next election, it is NOT to have our votes counted twice -- it is to have all of our votes counted ONCE. If you wonder why we are pissed, when your guy gets the most votes, including in Florida, but the other side succeeds in stealing the election (with the help of a 5-4 S. Ct. majority), it tends to piss you off. Then when you consider that the end result is to have to endure a second rate president for 4 years, it makes you that much more pissed off. As for this decision, do you really think Souter and Stevens (both lifelong republicans) were being partisan when they ripped the majority opinion and the concurrence a new a**hole?? Be honest. Your reasoning underlies a basic fallacy of demolib "logic". The truth is that reasonable minds may disagree on these issues. Demolibs seem to have trouble with that. Some repubs too. But the fact that in this particular case your point of view did not prevail does not mean the election was "stolen" with the USSC's help as you allege. It merely means that this time the majority decided against your point of view. That's what the USSC is there for to decide and be final arbiter of these issues. Despite all the tumult, no bullets were fired, no one lost their life and we all continued about our business as we normally do. We all ought to be proud of that no matter if your viewpoint prevailed. JLA
