The opinion was not "ourageous" in the least.

Gore lost. Get over it.

"I have never been much concerned with the issue you raise or the correctness of the Florida's Supreme Court's opinion on that matter for even if such was decided incorrectly (and it may have been) it doesn't mean the Supreme Court was correct in its actions"

This issue is key to the whole mess that Algore created for America. The FL SC was wrong, as was Algore to selectively try to win the election. Once his 75 lawyers mucked the situation up it needed to be corrected, or we would have had an illigitimate President. That is no big deal to Algore or his supporters, but it is huge to honest Americans who play by the rule of law. I am quite happy with the US SC's decisions and explanations of them. The jist is:

1) The US SC remanded the FL SC based on a unanimous vote.

2) The FL SC blindly and partisanly IGNORED that remand (although their most senior member honestly told America of their incorrect ruling).

3) The US SC voted 7 to 2 that the FL SC recount was unfair (which any thinking person could see).

4) The US SC said by a 5 to 4 vote that the FL SC did not get a 3rd chance to re-write the law. This did show that the US SC is split politically for the 3 boneheads to want to allow the FL SC to keep going until their goal was met, regardless of the cost to the nation.

One of the biggest peaves I have with the liberal mindset is that it does not matter what is right or wrong, as long as their means can be met through any method. Your response seemed honest, and I appreciate you giving it. But it confirms my belief stated above. Any means to justify the goal. In this case, disrupting and overturning a legal Presidential election.
